Companion AM Station KFSG (1690 kHz) was licensed for operations in 2001 as part of the FCC's expanded AM band program. At the end of the 5-year period, the licensee (Way Broadcasting) would have to either discontinue operations in the expanded band or return the original license (KLIB in this case) and cease operations. The station went silent in 2006 and removed its directional phasing equipment to comply, but also filed a request to retain both licenses. On February 20, 2007, the FCC granted a temporary authority to resume operations using a lower power non-directional antenna pending the final disposition of the expanded band license issue.
Originally, KLIB was a radio station licensed to Liberal Kansas at 1470 kHz on the AM band. The transmitter, tower, and studio was just south of Highway 54 on the east side of town and was a 1000 watt omni daytime station. The format in 1984/1985 was adult contemporary, and personalities on the air at that time was Paul Maldanado, Tim Malone, and John Jenkinson. Max Libby was the General Manager.
