KQMB (96.7 FM, "Utah's Goat") is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format. Licensed to Levan, Utah, United States, the station serves the Levan area. The station is owned by a Utah County-based company called Lucky Dog Broadcasting.[1]
KQMB has a sister station known as KSRR.
History[]
The station was assigned the call letters KBLN on January 8, 1999. On January 25, 2001, the station changed its call sign to KCFM and on September 21, 2005, to the current KQMB, the radio station's name was Star 96.7.[2]
KQMB picked up the callsign and format from 102.7, which is now known as KSL (radio network) KSL-FM.
In 2014, the station lost its signal and in 2017, the station went dark.
On December 20, 2018, Zeta Holdings, LLC sold the silent station, its booster signal in Provo, and translator K244DH Fort Douglas for $100,000 to Lucky Dog Broadcasting owned by Franklyn H. & Melanie Mueller. The sale was consummated on May 21, 2019.[3] In 2020, the license for the booster signal in Provo was cancelled. The station returned to air on January 29, 2021, and Frank decided to dump Star 96.7 for good. Originally, soft hits was aired on KKUT-HD4 Mount Pleasant for awhile. On April 17, 2021, KQMB flipped to a soft adult contemporary format branded as Kosy 96.7, and the soft hits has moved from KKUT-HD4 Mount Pleasant to KKUT-HD3 Mount Pleasant. As of November 16, 2021, KWLO 1580 and its FM translator on 99.9 began broadcasting a repeating message telling listeners that "Utah's Goat" had moved to 96.7 FM. KQMB flipped to a classic hit format branded as Utah's Goat 96.7, and the classic hits is now heard on KKUT-HD3 Mount Pleasant. Lucky Dog Broadcasting had been leasing the 1580 and 99.9 frequencies from owner RAMS III under a local marketing agreement (LMA); and due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Lucky Dog was unable to consummate the sale of KWLO and its associated translator. The new owner of 1580 and 99.9 will take over operations of those frequencies beginning December 1, 2021.[4]
