On March 17, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that eighty-eight stations had been given permission to move to newly available "Expanded Band" transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with KURV authorized to move from 710 to 1640 kHz.[6] However, the station never procured the Construction Permit needed to implement the authorization, so the expanded band station was never built.
In 2004, Border Media Partners bought KURV and KSOX 1240 AM Raymondville for $7.5 million.[7] MBM Texas Valley LLC later acquired KURV, co-owned with KBUC Raymondville and KESO South Padre Island.
Effective February 10, 2021, MBM sold KURV and three sister stations to Grupo Multimedios for $6 million.
