History

The station first signed on in June 1957 with the call sign KWIV. It originally operated as a 250-watt daytimer on 1050 kHz.^[5]. In the 1970s, KWIV moved from 1050 to 1470, allowing Casper's KTWO to move from 1470 to 1030. The move to 1470 allowed KWIV to raise its daytime power to 1,000 watts, and for the first time, broadcast at night with 500 watts.^[6]

The station has held the KKTY call sign twice, sandwiching a brief change to KWOG in 1992.^[7]
