History
The original construction permit for K10OS in Lake Havasu City was granted on August 7, 2002. The permit's original owner was Powell Meredith Communications Company (no relation to Meredith Corporation), who owned two television stations in Yuma (KYUM-LP and KBFY-LP) which aired religious programming. The station took the call letters KBBA-LP in October 2003.
In March 2005, Powell Meredith sold most of their properties. The construction permit for KBBA-LP, along with a permit for K16GB in Kingman, were sold to Smoke and Mirrors LLC of Lake Havasu City.{{cite web |url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA513089.html |title=Deals |work=Broadcasting and Cable |date=March 28, 2005 |accessdate=July 31, 2008}} Smoke and Mirrors LLC is a regional broadcaster that also owns several FM properties in Mohave County.
