KCAP (950 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to serve Helena, Montana. The station is owned by Kevin Terry, through licensee The Montana Radio Company, LLC. It airs a news/talk format.
The station went on the air November 1, 1976 as KMTX.[2] Until 2014, the station broadcast an adult standards format as "Classy 950."[3] In October 2014, Cherry Creek Radio announced that it would purchase KMTX from The Montana Radio Company and move its news/talk programming to KMTX from the original KCAP (1340 AM) and KBLL (1240 AM); those stations went off the air on November 5, the date that KMTX changed formats.[3][4] The station was assigned the KCAP call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on November 6.[5] Cherry Creek Radio's purchase of KCAP and translator K240EM was consummated on November 12, 2015, at a price of $250,004.
On April 5, 2017, Montana Radio Company announced that it would acquire Cherry Creek Media's Helena stations KCAP, KZMT, and KBLL-FM. To comply with ownership limits, KKRK's license will be divested to Yellowstone Public Radio, and KKRK's format and programming will be re-located.[6][7] The purchase was consummated on July 28, 2017.
