Programming

History
This station received its original construction permit for a new FM station broadcasting at 90.5 MHz from the Federal Communications Commission on March 15, 1999.[2] The new station was assigned the call letters KBMP by the FCC on April 30, 1999.[3]
In May 1999, Solid Rock Broadcasting, Inc., reached an agreement to sell the permit for this still-under construction station to the American Family Association. The deal was approved by the FCC on July 13, 1999, and the transaction was consummated on August 17, 1999.[4]
In August 2001, KBMP applied for a main studio waiver allowing the station to be operated and programmed from outside the station's coverage area.[5] On October 31, 2002, the FCC granted this authority to the station.[5] KBMP also received its license to cover from the FCC on October 31, 2002.[6]
In August 2005, the American Family Association reached an agreement to sell this station to the Bott Radio Network through their Community Broadcasting, Inc., subsidiary as part of a two-station deal valued at $30,000. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 8, 2005, and the transaction was consummated on January 26, 2006.[7]
Construction permit
In September 2007, KBMP applied to the FCC for authorization to upgrade to Class C1 and increase its effective radiated power to 100,000 watts.[8] The FCC granted a construction permit for the changes on November 4, 2008.[8] The permit expired on November 4, 2011.[8]
