History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on August 22, 2005.[3] The new station was assigned call letters KKRR by the FCC on September 9, 2008.[4] KKRR received its license to cover from the FCC on August 27, 2008.[5]

Cedar Cove Broadcasting acquired KKRR's license from original licensee WCN, Inc. effective September 11, 2019, at a purchase price of $50,000. The station changed its call sign to KEZF on October 5, 2019, and then to KAIX on February 8, 2020. Cedar Cove then traded the station to EMF in exchange for translator K214DI (90.7 FM), which had been Air1's transmitter in Casper, and $50,000.[6] The exchange was consummated on May 11, 2020.
