History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on May 18, 2000.[2] The new station was assigned the KMSW call sign by the FCC on August 1, 2000.[3] KMSW received its license to cover from the FCC on January 22, 2003.[4]

In February 2007, original owners M.S.W. Communications, LLC, reached an agreement to sell this station to Bicoastal Media through their Bicoastal Columbia River, LLC, subsidiary as part of a five-station deal valued at 2,775,000. The deal was approved by the FCC on September 13, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on December 1, 2007.[5] As part of an internal corporate reorganization, Bicoastal Media filed an application with the FCC in October 2007 to transfer the broadcast license for KMSW from Bicoastal Columbia River, LLC, to Bicoastal Media Licenses IV, LLC. The transfer was conditionally approved by the FCC on October 29, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on December 1, 2007.[6]

Translators

KMSW programming is also carried on a broadcast translator station to extend or improve the coverage area of the station.

gollark: What now?
gollark: Paying them a lot is actually somewhat good in that it hopefully attracts better people, and makes them less likely to take money from others.
gollark: > If they're fit to rule they will survive.I mean, kind of? If you randomly remove governments *somehow* when they run into some kind of issue, I figure you would introduce far more problems.
gollark: That would probably be bad. Governments do important things. Sometimes.
gollark: Big governments are ALWAYS in debt. They seem to magically materialize money somehow.
