History
editThis station began broadcasting on March 5, 1961, with 500 watts of power on a frequency of 940 kHz.[4] The Valentine Broadcasting Company, owned by the Huse Publishing Company as part of a four-station group of radio stations across Nebraska, initially broadcast from studios in the Marian Hotel.[5] The station was assigned the KVSH call sign by the Federal Communications Commission.[6]
By 1963, KVSH was authorized to increase its signal power to 5,000 watts but was still restricted to daytimer operation.[7] The Valentine Broadcasting Company sold KVSH to the Beef Country Company in a transaction that was consummated in October 1971.[8]
In March 1990, the Beef Country Company announced an agreement to sell this station to the Heart City Radio Company. The deal was approved by the FCC on May 21, 1990, and the transaction was consummated on June 6, 1990.[9]
