History
editThe station received its callsign in February 2015 and launched later that year. Huckabee and Coats had bought the permits for three stations from Nancy Miller and acquired KTRN from another owner.[2]
In March 2018, Huckabee and Coats struck a local marketing agreement to have the four Pine Bluff stations he owned be operated by PB Radio, which is owned by Mike and Alpha Horne. PB Radio also has the option of purchasing them.[3]
