The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station to BDI Broadcasting, Inc. on August 5, 1999, and assigned it the call sign KBPQ.[4] On December 11, 2000, BDI assigned the permit to BL Broadcasting (both companies were subsidiaries of Omni Broadcasting).[5] On January 2, 2002, the station changed its call sign to the current KBLB.[6] The station received its license to cover on March 28, 2002.[7]

Hubbard Broadcasting announced on November 13, 2014, that it would purchase the Omni Broadcasting stations, including KBLB.[8] The sale was completed on February 27, 2015, at a purchase price of $8 million for the 16 stations and one translator.[9]
