History

The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station to Advance Acquisition, Inc. on June 8, 2005.[2] The station was assigned the KJCD call sign on June 5, 2008,[3] and was granted its license to cover on July 2, 2008.[4] Just prior to the license being issued, Advance assigned the station's construction permit to Sovereign City Radio Services, LLC at a purchase price of $1,447,462. Included in the purchase were additional construction permits for stations in Socorro, New Mexico (now KYRN), Duluth, Minnesota (not yet licensed at 750 AM), Lake City, Florida (not yet licensed at 1450 AM), Bemidji, Minnesota (not yet licensed at 1400 AM), Ironwood, Michigan (permit since cancelled), and Houghton, Michigan (permit since cancelled).[5] On October 31, 2008, Sovereign assigned the license to Montana Christian Radio Association by way of a donation valued at $500,000.[6]

Montana Christian Radio sold KJCD to Kevin Terry's The Montana Radio Company, LLC for $20,000; the transaction was consummated on August 5, 2013.

The station changed its call sign to the current KVMO on September 17, 2013.[7]

On November 9, 2014 KVMO changed their format to classic country, branded as "Mo Legends 96.3".[8]
