History

Prior to its ownership by its current owners, the station was formerly operated by Sam Curry, its founder, who founded the station in 1963.[23] Under Curry's tenure, the station was referred to by its ownership and on air personalities as, "K M Double O," and on air personalities were not allowed to call the station "KMOO," with the last three letters pronounced in a manner similar to a noise made by cattle. Curry sold the station in 1995 when he planned to embark on a race for Wood County Judge as a Democrat, a race he ultimately lost.
