[edit | edit source]

KENB-FM signed on December 1, 1980.[3] It was owned by and named for Ken Brown, the original owner. The station operated under the call sign KWOR-FM for a time, specifically from 1987 to 1989.[4] During the 1990s, the station broadcast a Country music format and was branded as "The Big Country".[5]

KKLX-FM is owned by Legend Communications of Wyoming, LLC, which is the state's largest chain of radio stations.[6] The station is managed under the company's regional umbrella, the Big Horn Radio Network.[7] Legend Communications operates over 20 stations and three FM translators across Wyoming communities including Cody, Worland, Sheridan, and Gillette.[8]

The company was co-founded by W. Lawrence "Larry" Patrick, a media industry veteran with a long career spanning five decades, including roles as a broadcaster, consultant, and media broker.[9] Patrick holds a Ph.D. in communications and management and a J.D. (law degree) and has been involved in over $8 billion worth of media transactions throughout his career.[10]
