KUVR (1380 AM, "Continuous Favorites 1380 & 96.9") is a radio station broadcasting an oldies music format.[1] Licensed to Holdrege, Nebraska, United States, the station is currently owned by Nebraska Rural Radio Association, and features programming from Citadel Media.[2]

History[]

KUVR was founded by Bill and Betty Rae Whitlock and went on the air October 22, 1956. It has occupied the same building in downtown Holdrege since 1958, which was previously occupied by Northwestern Bell Telephone Co.[3] In 1971, an FM station was added, KUVR-FM (later separated from KUVR, now KMTY).

Ownership[]

In May 2013, Armada Media and Legacy Broadcasting traded some stations in Nebraska, with two stations in Holdrege (KUVR/1380 and KMTY/97.7) going to Legacy and eight others in the Scottsbluff and North Platte markets [KZTL/93.5 (Paxton-North Platte) and KRNP/100.7 (Sutherland-North Platte) KOAQ/690 (Terrytown), KOLT/1320 (Scottsbluff), KMOR/93.3 (Gering), KETT/99.3 (Mitchell), KOZY-FM/101.3 (Bridgeport), KHYY/106.9 (Minatare)] going to Armada Media. The transaction was consummated on October 11, 2013, with Legacy's purchase price pegged at $800,000.

Effective January 17, 2020, Legacy Communications sold KUVR, translator K245CK, and six sister stations to Nebraska Rural Radio Association for $1.75 million.
