This station began broadcast operations on September 22, 1960, as an FM simulcast of Forrest City Broadcasting Company sister station KXJK (950 AM).[1][4] The station was assigned the KBFC call sign by the Federal Communications Commission.[5]

Originally broadcasting with just 670 watts of effective radiated power, KBFC upgraded its signal to 3,000 watts in 1970.[4][6] In 1991, the FCC granted the station a new construction permit to relocate its broadcast tower and upgrade to 25,000 watts as a Class C3 station.[7] KBFC began licensed broadcasting from the new site in July 1992.[8]
