The station was founded in 2002 by
Art Bell. Bell was the founder and original host of
Coast to Coast AM, which became a
nationally syndicated all-night radio show across the U.S. and Canada. Bell often did the program from Pahrump. The station was created as a personal project, with Bell's broadcast studio and transmitter located on his home's property. The station was created to serve the local Pahrump community and ran an oldies format, often commercial-free for periods as a "thank you to Pahrump" from Bell. On May 29, 2008, Art Bell sold the station to Jackson for a reported $600,000, with Jackson continuing the station's focus on community service. The station promotes local efforts such as food fundraisers, coat drives, and school supply drives. == References ==
