History
The station signed on the air on February 22, 1959. Its original city of license was Potosi, Missouri.[5] In its early years, the station was a daytimer, required to go off the air at night to avoid interfering with other stations on 1280 AM. It later got authorization to remain on the air after sunset with low power.
