History

In November 1991, the station signed on the air.[3] KBVA's original owner was Gayla Joy Hendren McKenzie, the daughter of Republican politician Kim Hendren and the sister of current state Senator Jim Hendren. The station carried political advertising for Kim Hendren's unsuccessful bid in 2010 for the United States Senate.

McKenzie sold KBVA to Hog Radio effective July 31, 2017 for $1.15 million, which rebranded the station from "Variety 106.5" to "Lite 106.5".
