History

By the 1980s, KROE had increased power from 1,000 Watts to 5,000 Watts, and the road on which it was located had a new name: KROE Lane. The KROE building was renovated in 2001/2002, and as of 2017, it houses six radio stations (KROE, KWYO, KLQQ, KOWY, KYTI and KZWY), as well as multiple HD multicast channels and FM translators.

Programming

In 1983, KROE stopped playing

polka music and stories delivered in Polish. Another popular program was the Make Believe Ballroom, with 1940s big band music. The Polka Party ended in the mid 1990s, and the Big Band show moved to KWYO in 1998. The music on KROE was switched to a Westwood One satellite-delivered country music
format in the 1990s.

In 1997, station owner Lovcom, Inc. acquired a competing FM station. The call letters of that station were changed from KWYO-FM to

News Talk Information format. The sports coverage was moved to sister station KWYO
.

Long-time programs remain on KROE, including Swap Shop (an on-air

syndicated political talk show hosts Rush Limbaugh, Michael Medved, Sean Hannity, Joe Paggs, Jim Bohannon and others. KROE is a CBS
news affiliate.

In January 2017, KROE began rebroadcasting at 103.9 FM on translator K280GK.
