The station, established in 1974,^[1] is currently owned by Butte Broadcasting, Inc. The main offices and studios of Butte Broadcasting are at 660 Dewey in Butte. The transmitter site is north of Sheep Gulch Road in Anaconda, Montana.

History

The station started by broadcasting country music. However with the debut of 96.9 the river, the station flipped to an Adult top 40 market focusing on current pop due to a hole in the market and has since leaned more and more toward top 40 before coming a CHR station in 2010.

KGLM-FM airs the "Hits Now!" music format from Dial Global Networks and is Butte's home for American Top 40.

Ownership

In December 2006, a deal was reached for KGLM-FM to be acquired by Butte Broadcasting, Inc. (Ronald Davis, president/general manager) from Jim Ray Carroll as part of a three-station deal with a total reported sale price of $500,000.^[2]
