For a time, it was a sister station to KNOR 93.7 FM. Owner Dick Witkovski announced the sale of KBOC to Entravision Communications in early 2005. But that deal fell through.

Signal

Unlike most of the area's FM stations, which transmit their signals from Cedar Hill, KBOC transmits its signal from an unincorporated area within the county borders of Cooke, Montague, and Wise. Therefore, KBOC's signal is much stronger in the Northwestern parts of the Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex as well as the cities of Decatur, Bowie, Gainesville, and Sherman, to as far north as Ardmore, Oklahoma, but is considerably weaker in Dallas and areas Southeast of the city itself.
