Ownership History
In December 2007, 1TV.Com (John Low, president) reached an agreement to acquire KIKO (AM) and KIKO-FM from Shoecraft Broadcasting for a reported $1.025 million.[2] Broadcasting & Cable reported that the deal called for a $50,000 escrow deposit plus $725,000 cash at closing, then an additional $250,000 upon the FCC's issuance of a construction permit allowing 1TV.com to upgrade the facilities of KIKO-FM to Class C3.
The FCC granted this voluntary transfer of license on February 19, 2008.[3] and the transfer was completed April 30, 2008.
On January 27, 2012 KIKO-FM changed their format to comedy, branded as "Funny 97.3".
After being silent since March 17, 2014, KIKO-FM returned to the air on July 8, 2014 with an oldies format branded as "Oldies 97.3".[4]
