The station first signed on the air on December 9, 1964. It first aired a MOR format before becoming a Top 40 format in 1981. KFBD-FM is one out of the two Rolla dominant affiliates for
Rick Dees Weekly Top 40 in the 1980s, with the other being
KCLU. The Top 40 format continued to last throughout the rest of the 1980s and into the early 1990s. When the early 1990s began rolling along, the station began simulcasting KOZQ which still airs Top 40 at the time. A few years later, it became a news/talk station. ==References==
