History

edit

The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station on August 4, 2005.[4] The station was assigned the KVAR call sign on August 29, 2005,[5] and received its license to cover on September 23, 2008.[6]

Attesting that it had aired no paid commercials since it was licensed and that it had arranged a partnership with a local college, KVAR applied in November 2008 to become a non-commercial educational station.[7] The FCC granted this request on December 18, 2008.[7]
