KAAR and its sister stations are all located at 750 Dewey Blvd. in Butte. The rear of this radio facility houses the small studios of local NBC affiliate KTVM Channel 6. KAAR and KMBR share a transmitter site northeast of town, east of Interstate 15. 92.5 KAAR FM was first implemented in 1992 by Bob Toole, who at the time, served as General Manager of Fisher Radio in Butte. In 2002, Fisher acquired broadcaster Tom O'Neill as KAAR FM's morning DJ and Program Director. O'Neill has commanded the KAAR & KMBR air waves for nearly 18 years, and has successfully impacted listenership. In early 2019, KAAR FM ranked #1 in the Nielsen Ratings. In October 2017, "Murphy" was brought on board for a live afternoon shift. His engaging show can be heard weekdays from 3 to 7 pm.

Ownership

In June 2006, KAAR was acquired by Cherry Creek Radio from Fisher Radio Regional Group as part of a 24-station deal with a total reported sale price of $33.3 million.[1]

gollark: As well as this one.
gollark: This can go in my list of "out of context styro quotes".
gollark: I assumed it was just a joke. And it is quite funny. But I guess it's dual-purpose.
gollark: The only message on 19 December is> 6K+ already?!?which seems pretty innocuous, so I'm assuming you're talking about the 20 December one about the (not implemented yet) restricted thing channels and will chalk this down to... time zones, or something.I'd kind of expect you to have said something in the intervening four months if this was a problem for you.
