History
The station went on the air in October 1970 as KCMT-FM, owned by the Central Minnesota Television Company along with KCMT television (channel 7; now KCCO-TV, a satellite of WCCO-TV).[1] The two stations were separated in 1985, when KCMT-FM was purchased by Lusk Broadcasting[2] and became KIKV-FM.[3] BDI Broadcasting bought the station in 1989;[4] the station eventually came under the Omni Broadcasting banner.
Hubbard Broadcasting, Inc. announced on November 13, 2014 that it would purchase the Omni Broadcasting stations, including KIKV-FM.[5] Hubbard already owned television station KSAX (channel 42, a satellite of KSTP-TV) in Alexandria.[6] The sale was completed on February 27, 2015, at a purchase price of $8 million for the 16 stations and one translator.[7]
