"KKOB Albuquerque Adds $425,000 FM Signal – RadioInsight". radioinsight.com. 1 September 2016. Retrieved 9 April 2018. This translator was owned by Martha Whitman, who owned smooth jazz outlet KOAZ and K279BP (now licensed to Vanguard Media). It had previously relayed KRKE's (now KQNM) 1980s hits format until late September 2015, when that station was put up for sale. KQRI rebroadcast on this translator from December 1, 2015 until mid August 2016. After launching the FM simulcast on the full-power 96.3 frequency in January 2020, KKOB dropped the simulcast on K233CG, with the translator now simulcasting sister station KTBL.
