The station signed on October 24, 1985. [6] It was part of a network of stations started by Christian radio pioneer Harold Erickson. His company was known as Christian Enterprise Inc..[7]
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, Erickson started stations such as KURL, in Billings, Montana, KGVW in Belgrade, Montana (since deleted), KGLE in Glendive, Montana, KALS in Kalispell, Montana, and KNDR in Mandan, North Dakota (among others).[8][9]
Christian Enterprise Inc., would eventually become Enterprise Network, of which KUYO was a part, along with four other stations. [10]
The station was sold in 1999 to its current owner Wyoming Christian Broadcasting Company.[11]
