History

In November 1984, KLBM, Inc., reached an agreement to sell KLBM-FM to Grande Radio, Inc. The deal was approved by the FCC on January 7, 1985, and the transaction was consummated on June 24, 1988.[4]

The station was assigned the KUBQ call sign by the Federal Communications Commission on June 4, 1990.[1]

On July 1, 2019, KUBQ changed their format from rock to country, branded as "98.7 The Ranch".[5]

gollark: You would probably have to swap out a bunch of important proteins to make everything work. Which would be hard, as lots of them are probably ridiculously optimized for their current function.
gollark: Does it matter? In most contexts where you *need* to know if something is "alive" there's probably a more specific definition which categorises them better.

gollark: > I wonder if it would be possible to engineer a contagious bacteria with rapid reproductive rates to produce a fast acting psychoactive compound when undergoing cellular division, similar to how cholera produces cholera toxin. It would be an interesting non lethal bio weapon that could incapacitate enemy forces in a few hoursIt seems like it's getting cheaper and easier for people to genetically engineer bacteria and stuff, so I worry that within a few decades it will be easy enough that people will just do this sort of thing for funlolz.
