On May 22, 2006, the station first signed on the air. Diamond Broadcasting spent $2.5 million to acquire the station's
construction permit before it even was on the air. On May 29, 2009, the
Las Vegas Sun reported that the station had been sold to Silver State Communications LLC, and that the format would be changed to
Sports radio. KBET later aired a
Classic Country format, using the slogan: "Country Legends 790." KBET began broadcasting a
talk format on April 19, 2012. It carried
nationally syndicated conservative talk shows most of the day, mainly from
Westwood One. Shows included
Chris Plante,
Dan Bongino and "
Red Eye Radio." In addition, "
Armstrong & Getty" from
KSTE Sacramento was heard in morning
drive time.
Alex Jones from the
Genesis Communications Network aired early weekday and weekend mornings and
Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis was heard in late evenings. Most hours began with an update from
Fox News Radio. In 2024, the station was
off the air for a period of time as Autopilot FM made plans to start an urban contemporary format on the signal. The main goal was to feed the
FM translator, giving listeners in Las Vegas an FM station playing
hip hop music and recent urban hits. ==References==
