History
The station was assigned the KBCK call letters by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on June 20, 2002.[1]
In November 2006, Butte Broadcasting reached an agreement with Jimmy Ray Carroll to acquire KBCK as part of a three-station deal worth a reported $500,000.[3] Robert Cummings Toole immediately reached an agreement to acquire KBCK from Butte Broadcasting for a reported cash price of $100,000.[4]
KBCK's license was surrendered to the FCC and cancelled on April 11, 2022, following Toole's death; it had been off the air due to storm damage since August 2021.[5]
