History

The station was founded in 2005.

On June 25, 2008, original owner Equity Media Holdings disclosed that it was selling KAMT to Luken Communications, LLC.^[2]

Equity Media Holdings has been in Chapter 11 bankruptcy since December 2008^[3] and offers by Luken Communications to acquire Equity-owned stations in six markets have since been withdrawn.^[4] On April 10, 2009, Equity Media announced a fire sale of all television stations—KAMT was set for an asking price of $750,000.^[5] However, a buyer was not found until October, when Drewry Communications Group, then-owner of KFDA-TV (now owned by Gray Television), announced that it would purchase the station as part of a larger deal.^[6]

The station's license was surrendered to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on October 6, 2010, and the KAMT-LP call sign was canceled by the FCC that same day.
