History

The station signed on the air on January 24, 1996 as KWMJ, operating under a 24-hour Family Safe® programming format. The station changed its callsign to KGEB on November 29, 1999, becoming the flagship of the Golden Eagle Broadcasting, now GEB America network. The callsign KGEB was previously used fictionally in the 1953 film The War of the Worlds starring Gene Barry. The callsign appeared on the truck and microphone of a radio news reporter covering the Army's first engagement with the Martian invaders.

In June 1999, in two children's shows broadcasts on then-KWMJ, the station violated FCC law by including advertising for a tape of the program being aired and then an ad for a toy looking like a character from the program. The station originally was to be fined $8,000, but KGEB managed to get the fine reduced by 20% because remedial action had been taken and there had not been any other problems; also, the error came from a syndicator and not KGEB.^[1]
