History
In August 1975, KRNO signed on the air.[https://worldradiohistory.com/Archive-BC-YB/1976/C%20%20Broadcasting%20Yearbook%201976.pdf Information] from Broadcasting Yearbook 1976 page C-123 It was originally licensed in Reno, as the FM counterpart to KCBN 1230 AM. The two stations were owned by B.B.C., Inc. While the AM station played Top 40 hits, KRNO had an easy listening format. In the 1980s, it gradually moved to soft adult contemporary music.
KRNO dropped its "Sunny" moniker as its prime positioner on March 24, 2014, to become "106.9 More FM."[http://radioinsight.com/blog/headlines/87965/sun-to-set-on-krno-reno/ "MoreFM & Yahoo! Sports Launch In Reno", RadioInsight, 23 March 2014] The rebranding, despite the station's high ratings (the station ranked at #2 12+ among subscribing stations in the Fall 2013 Nielsen Audio ratings report[http://www.stationratings.com/ratings.aspx?market=275 Reno radio ratings from stationratings.com]{{Dead link|date=February 2020 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}), was meant to reflect the updating of the station's playlist to focus on mostly songs released after 2000, with some 1980s and 90s hits.
On September 8, 2022, KRNO rebranded back to its previous brand as "Sunny 106.9".[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/241172/sunny-106-9-returns-to-reno/ Sunny 106.9 Returns to Reno] Radioinsight - September 8, 2022
