History
The station
signed on the air on September 1, 1968. Its original call sign was KLIN-FM, the sister station of KLIN 1400 AM. The stations were owned by Shurtleff-Schorr Broadcasting Corp., a Nebraska corporation owned by Lincoln businessmen Donald O. Shurtleff and Paul C. Schorr. KLIN-FM broadcast an automated beautiful music
format.
In the fall of 1971, KLIN, Inc., a Nebraska corporation owned by Norton Warner, acquired the station licenses. The FM call sign changed to KEZG in 1988, with the letters EZ referring to easy listening music. In 2000, the call letters switched to the current KBBK, with the station airing adult contemporary music.
The station was later owned by Triad Broadcasting. In August 2007, KBBK was purchased by current owner NRG Media.[3]
