History

The station was initially licensed on 1230 kHz in 1948, receiving it's license to cover on February 23, 1949. The station started with 250 watts, the then-limit for so-called graveyarder frequencies, referred to as local frequencies by the FCC.[3] In November of 1953, the station applied to move to 1330 kHz and increase power to 1,000 watts day and night. The station was owned by Fremont Broadcasting. The station received a power increase to 5,000 watts in 1962. [4]

For much of its life, the station carried a country music format.[5] [6]

In 2021, the station was sold from Fremont Broadcasting to Kairos Broadcasting, along with sister station KDLY. [7]

In September 2022, KOVE changed its format from country to news/talk.[8]
