History
Beginning as a construction permit in 1978, KSRA-FM, signed on in 1979.[5] The station's AM sister station, KSRA signed on in 1959 and was owned by David and Elizabeth Ainsworth. They sold the station in 1969. James and Cindy Hone, Salmon River Communcations, purchased the station in 2000 from Wescomm, Inc. In 2005, KSRA was fined $13,000 for failing to renew its license on time, something that wasn't discovered until 2010. The station was also cited for operating after the license was expired.[6]
Salmon River Communications sold both stations to Bitterroot Communications, Inc. effective January 4, 2019 for $350,000.[7][8] The stations were sold again in 2024 to Sharon and Jim Infanger for $100.[9]
