History

In October 2007, Grace Public Radio applied to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) for a construction permit for a new broadcast radio station to serve Girard, Kansas. The FCC granted this permit on October 8, 2008, with a scheduled expiration date of October 8, 2011.^[3] The new station was assigned call sign "KFKB" on January 1, 2009.^[1]

In August 2010, with the station still under construction, the permit holder applied to change the new station's city of license from Girard to La Harpe, Kansas. The FCC issued a new permit to make this change on April 5, 2011, with a scheduled expiration of October 8, 2011.^[4] The station applied for, and was assigned, new call sign "KTRU" by the FCC on May 17, 2011.^[1] After construction and testing were completed in October 2011, the station was granted its broadcast license on October 28, 2011.^[5]
