History
editKUVR was founded by Bill and Betty Rae Whitlock and went on the air October 22, 1956. It has occupied the same building in downtown Holdrege since 1958, which was previously occupied by Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.[4] In 1971, an FM station was added, KUVR-FM (later separated from KUVR, now KMTY).

Effective January 17, 2020, Legacy Communications sold KUVR, translator K245CK, and six sister stations to Nebraska Rural Radio Association for $1.75 million.
