History
The station began as 1220 kHz KGMC in January 1951.
In 1982, the station became KRZN after another sale. The station would change calls multiple times, becoming KFRR in 1989 and KCUV.[citation needed] In 1992, Radio Unica Communications bought the station in 1999 from Den-Mex LLC for $2.8 million. More changes followed, with 1150 AM becoming KNRC in March 2003 (KCUV, in turn, would move to KCKK (1510 AM)). The station went dark on July 27, 2004, due to the failure of KNRC's talk format.[2] The station returned to the air in 2005 as KNRV, upon its acquisition by New Radio Venture.
New Radio Venture, including its Spanish talk radio stations in Denver and Phoenix, was sold out of bankruptcy to Amigo Multimedia in 2011. Amigo is headquartered in Denver.
