History
KSIM went on the air in 1948 and was owned by the Sikeston Community Broadcasting Company. It broadcast with 250 watts until beginning broadcast at 1,000 watts during the day in 1962. KSIM was able to get on the air because of KFVS—the future KZIM—moving to 960 kHz. Prime Time Broadcasting Corporation bought KSIM in 1977. It was sold to KSIM, Inc., in 1993, and to the Zimmer Radio Group in 1996.
In December 2003, Mississippi River Radio, acting as Max Media LLC (John Trinder, president/COO), reached an agreement to purchase WCIL, WCIL-FM, WUEZ, WXLT, WOOZ-FM, WJPF, KGIR, KZIM, KEZS-FM, KCGQ-FM, KMAL, KLSC, KWOC, KJEZ, KKLR-FM, KGKS, and KSIM from the Zimmer Radio Group (James L. Zimmer, owner).{{cite news |work=Southern Illinoisan |title=Zimmer sells 17 radio stations |date=2003-12-19 |first=John D. |last=Homan |quote=The Zimmer Radio Group, a family-owned media company, announced Wednesday it will sell 17 of its 32 stations [...] to Mississippi River Radio.}} The reported value of this 17-station transaction was $43 million.{{cite news |work=Broadcasting & Cable |title=Changing Hands - 1/12/2004 |url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA373841.html |date=2004-01-12}}
