History
KBEL-FM was originally a 1,000 watt mono FM station taking to the airwaves in 1976. Then after a short time at a minimum power, the station was granted authority to increase power to 3,000. The Idabel stations were originally sister stations of radio stations in Mount Pleasant, Texas which is about 85 miles south of Idabel, Oklahoma.
The station changed its call sign on December 12, 1990, from KWDG then a rock station to KBEL-FM to program country music.[3] On June 22, 1999, then-owner Harold E. Cochran assigned the station's license, along with that of its sister station KBEL, to Box Broadcasting.[4]
The licenses of both KBEL-FM and KBEL were assigned by Box Broadcasting to the current owners, Rod Liechti's Brute Force Radio, LLC. The transaction was consummated on July 30, 2013 for no consideration.
