KHRO (1150
History
The station first
The station has gone through numerous formats over the years, including
Expanded Band assignment
On March 17, 1997, the FCC announced that 88 stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, from 1610 to 1700 kHz. The then-KSVE was authorized to move from 1150 kHz to 1650 kHz.[3]
The expanded band operation on 1650 kHz was assigned the call letters KBIV on September 4, 1998, which were changed to KHRO on February 25, 2005, and to KSVE on September 23, 2008.[4]
The FCC initially provided that both the original station and its expanded band counterpart could optionally operate simultaneously for up to five years, after which owners would have to turn in one of the two licenses, depending on whether they preferred the new assignment or elected to remain on the original frequency. However, this deadline has been extended multiple times, and both KHRO on 1150 kHz and KSVE on 1650 kHz have remained authorized.[3] One restriction is that the FCC has generally required paired original and expanded band stations to remain under common ownership.[5][6]
