History
This station began regular daytime-only broadcasting on May 2, 1958, as KURY with 500 watts of power on 910 kHz.[5] KURY was originally owned and operated by Joseph F. Sheridan with Norman Oberst serving as the station's first general manager.[5] The station increased its coverage area with a boost to 1,000 watts of power in 1960 but remained a daytime-only station.[6]
The station was acquired by Norman Oberst's KURY Radio, Inc., on November 1, 1964.[1] After nearly 30 years of ownership, Norman Oberst applied to the FCC to transfer control of KURY Radio, Inc., to Dorothy J. Garvin in January 1993. The transfer was approved by the FCC on February 24, 1993, and the transaction was consummated on the same day.[7]
KURY Radio, Inc., reached an agreement in February 2005 to sell this station and KURY-FM to Eureka Broadcasting Co., Inc. (Hugo Papstein, president) for a reported price of $775,000.[8] The deal was approved by the FCC on April 19, 2005, and the transaction was consummated on May 5, 2005.[9] At the time of the sale, KURY broadcast a nostalgia format.[8]
