History

KGTS was founded in 1963 on the campus of Walla Walla University, then Walla Walla College. At that time, it was the first FM station in the Walla Walla Valley. The station manager Loren Dickinson operated the radio station with the help of volunteers, featuring news, classical music, and religious programming.Alderman, Amy WestWord(June 2013) p. 5-6 http://issuu.com/wwucommlang/docs/westword_magazine_2013_portfolio Retrieved July 1, 2014
