KBSR (1490 AM, "Big Sky Radio") is a radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. Licensed to Laurel, Montana, United States, the station serves the Billings, Montana, area. The station is currently owned by Sun Mountain, Inc. and features programming from Cumulus Media Networks and Westwood One.[1]
History
The station was assigned the call letters KBSO on July 10, 1987. On June 17, 1989, the station changed its call sign to KFBN, then again on September 3, 1990 to the current KBSR. And now is KSSR.[2] Due to the loss of its tower, the station used a special temporary authority to broadcast 0.02 kW from an alternate site near Laurel. The antenna would be a "half wavelength" long wire antenna attached to the existing facilities.[3]
