KEVA's tower and studio were located on Airport Road just outside town.

KEVA ceased broadcasting July 2, 2014 due to failure of their transmitter. Attempts to repair it were unsuccessful. Attempts to find a new owner and money for a new transmitter were also unsuccessful. It was taken off the air. KEVA's license was canceled on May 3, 2017, for failure to pay debts it owed to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).[3]
