History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on May 18, 2000.[2] The new station was assigned the KMSW call sign by the FCC on August 1, 2000.[3] KMSW received its license to cover from the FCC on January 22, 2003.[4]

In February 2007, original owners M.S.W. Communications, LLC, reached an agreement to sell this station to Bicoastal Media through their Bicoastal Columbia River, LLC, subsidiary as part of a five-station deal valued at 2,775,000. The deal was approved by the FCC on September 13, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on December 1, 2007.[5] As part of an internal corporate reorganization, Bicoastal Media filed an application with the FCC in October 2007 to transfer the broadcast license for KMSW from Bicoastal Columbia River, LLC, to Bicoastal Media Licenses IV, LLC. The transfer was conditionally approved by the FCC on October 29, 2007, and the transaction was consummated on December 1, 2007.[6]
