In the fall of 1971, KLIN, Inc., a Nebraska corporation owned by Norton Warner, acquired the station licenses. KLIN-AM-FM moved into the present offices and studios at Broadcast House in the fall of 1976.[4]
In May 2000, KLIN was acquired by a licensee entity of Triad Broadcasting.[10]
In August 2007, Triad sold the stations to NRG Media.[11] The company is based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and was founded in 2005.
FM translators
On May 3, 2012, KLIN began simulcasting on FM translator K233AN 94.5 FM.[12] The simulcast lasted until August 26, 2014, when K233AN switched to a simulcast of KBBK's HD2 subchannel, "RED 94.5". KLIN now simulcasts in high definition on KBBK's HD3 subchannel.
In late 2017, KLIN was authorized to construct an FM translator to rebroadcast its signal on 99.3 MHz. The Commission granted the license for K257GN on July 30, 2021.[13]
