History
In July 1993, Eagle Bluff Enterprises applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station. The FCC granted this permit on March 30, 1994, with a scheduled expiration date of September 30, 1995.[3] The new station was assigned call sign "KOLW" on June 30, 1995.[1] After construction began, the station was assigned new call sign "KXOQ" by FCC on November 1, 1995.[1]
In late November 1995, permit holder Eagle Bluff Enterprises agreed to transfer the construction permit to P.M. Broadcasting, Inc.[4] The FCC approved the transfer on February 14, 1996, and the transaction was formally consummated on February 6, 1996.[4] After station construction and testing were completed, KXOQ was granted its broadcast license on April 12, 1996.[5]
