History
KBYR signed on the air in 1948.[3] Alaska was not yet a state then. KBYR originally broadcast at 1240 kilocycles and was only powered at 250 watts, a fraction of its current output. It was owned by Aleutian Broadcasters with studios on 4th and B Streets. It moved to 1270 kHz in 1956, then to 700 kHz in 1971.
In the 1970s, KBYR was owned by the Alaska Broadcasting System.[4] It had a full service format, playing middle of the road music, news and sports. KBYR was an affiliate of CBS Radio and the ABC Entertainment Network.
