History.
The station originally signed on the air on August 1, 1949, as KBKW. The call sign represented the founder's initials, Ben K. Weatherwax. Weatherwax was part of a prominent local family, and was the first full-time radio newsman in Southwest Washington, employed at KXRO until the launch of KBKW.
In later years, the call letters changed to KAYO, with a switch to a country music format. On 1995-04-28, the station reverted to the current call sign KBKW, with the FM sister station retaining the KAYO call letters. The KAYO call letters have since switched to an FM station in Alaska.
