KMOG is a daytimer station. By day, it is powered at 3,000 watts non-directional. But to protect other stations from interference on 1430 AM, KMOG goes off the air at night. Programming is heard around the clock on 250-watt FM translator K277BX at 103.3 MHz in Star Valley.[4]
History
editWhile it was still being constructed, the station was assigned the KMOG call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on March 15, 1982.[5] It signed on the air on November 1, 1983.[6] It was owned by RimCo, Inc. The original developers were Neil Monaco, Hall Mayo and Willard Taylor. The station featured an adult contemporary music format and it was an affiliate of the ABC Information Radio Network.
It was bought by Michael Farrell in 1989, who switched the format to country music. Its programming includes local news, local talk, religious programs on Sundays and a tradio show middays from Monday through Saturday.
