On March 2, 2009, KOTM rebanded from "97.7 KOTM" to "97.7 Tom FM" to prevent confusion of the KOTM call letters, which stand for Otumwa.[2] The owner was FMC Broadcasting Inc. at the time of the change.[3]

O-Town will take over KLEE and Tom-FM through a time brokerage agreement while the parties await FCC approval. The deal, dated Christmas Eve, includes a five-year non-compete clause for FMC owner Thomas Palen. O-Town Communications is owned by Bruce Linder (60%) and Greg List (40%).[4] The purchase was consummated on April 18, 2014, at a price of $794,000.
