History

Further information: KKDO

Western Inspirational Broadcasters was incorporated in 1962 to construct a new religious radio station. In 1969, land was acquired on McClelland Peak near Virginia City, Nevada, for the construction of a tower. KNIS—"Nevada's Inspirational Station"—made its first broadcast on 94.7 MHz on November 25, 1970. The original studios were in a trailer.

In 1988, Western Inspirational obtained a construction permit for the non-commercial 91.3 MHz frequency in Carson City. It sold the existing 94.7 facility, which could be converted to commercial authorization, to Sapphire Broadcasting of Washington, D.C., The KNIS call letters moved to 91.3 when the frequency change occurred in October 1989; the 94.7 frequency returned as a commercial station, KRWR, in June 1990.

After previously growing with the installation of translators, the network added a new high-power station with KCSP-FM 106.9 in Casper, Wyoming, in 1990. Like in Carson City, Western Inspirational sold the commercial station and moved to a non-commercial frequency at 90.3 MHz in order to feed more translators.
