Ownership

In May 2013, Armada Media and Legacy Broadcasting traded some stations in Nebraska, with Armada's two Holdrege stations (KUVR and KMTY) going to Legacy and Legacy's stations in Scottsbluff and North Platte markets, including KOAQ, going to Armada. The station was eventually sold to the Nebraska Rural Radio Association.
