History

The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station to BDI Broadcasting, Inc. on August 5, 1999, and assigned it the call sign KBPQ. On December 11, 2000, BDI assigned the permit to BL Broadcasting (both companies were subsidiaries of Omni Broadcasting). On January 2, 2002, the station changed its call sign to the current KBLB. The station received its license to cover on March 28, 2002.

Hubbard Broadcasting announced on November 13, 2014, that it would purchase the Omni Broadcasting stations, including KBLB. The sale was completed on February 27, 2015, at a purchase price of $8 million for the 16 stations and one translator.
