History

KBRO, which signed on the air in May 1947 and was the one-time sister station of the current KRWM during its early years as a Country music station, and KNTB, who signed on the air with an MOR/Talk format in September 1978, became simulcasts in 1998 when they were part of the Triangle Radio Network, a service that targeted the LGBT community with a mix of music (Mostly Dance), Talk, and specialty fare. But controversy, a lack of support from advertisters and signal coverage would force the stations to drop the network and in the process be sold to its current owners, who would flip it to Oldies in 2001 and then to its current format in 2005.
