History
The 101.9 license in Fresno was awarded to KARM (1430 AM), The George Harm Station, on October 3, 1949, after having broadcast since the previous year. KARM-FM remained such and co-owned with KARM through 1975. When the station was sold to Lake Enterprises, owner of KFRE (940 AM), in 1975, a call letter change to KFRE-FM was also applied for. It would have been the second KFRE-FM, after the previous one was sold in 1971. That station, which had become KFYE, objected to the similarity and had its petition to deny upheld. Ultimately, the station settled on KFRY. From 1988 to 2008, except for the early 1990s, the station was KOQO ( ). It became KLBN in 2008.
