Further information:
KKDOWestern Inspirational Broadcasters was incorporated in 1962 to construct a new religious radio station. In 1969, land was acquired on McClelland Peak near Virginia City, Nevada, for the construction of a tower.[1] KNIS—"Nevada's Inspirational Station"[2]—made its first broadcast on 94.7 MHz on November 25, 1970.[3] The original studios were in a trailer.[4]
In 1988, Western Inspirational obtained a construction permit for the non-commercial 91.3 MHz frequency in Carson City. It sold the existing 94.7 facility, which could be converted to commercial authorization, to Sapphire Broadcasting of Washington, D.C.,[5] The KNIS call letters moved to 91.3 when the frequency change occurred in October 1989;[6] the 94.7 frequency returned as a commercial station, KRWR, in June 1990.[7][lower-alpha 1]
After previously growing with the installation of translators,[3] the network added a new high-power station with KCSP-FM 106.9 in Casper, Wyoming, in 1990. Like in Carson City, Western Inspirational sold the commercial station and moved to a non-commercial frequency at 90.3 MHz in order to feed more translators.[10]
In addition to streaming its programming at pilgrimradio.com, the signal is broadcast over-the-air on KNIS in Carson City, Nevada; KNVQ in Elko, Nevada; KDOX in Big Pine, California; KCSP-FM in Casper, Wyoming; KDNR in Cheyenne, Wyoming; KTME in Reliance, Wyoming; KPMD in Evanston, Wyoming; KMJB in Lander–Riverton, Wyoming; and KLMT in Billings, Montana. Its signal is also extended by a network of 28 FM translators in Nevada, California, and Wyoming.[11]
