On October 7, 1991, the station changed its call sign to KARU, and on June 1, 1995, to the current KBIC. The station was granted its license to cover on December 31, 1997. FFJ movement in the 90's was a time of extreme anxiety on the KBIC reservation. Large scale tribal government embezzlement (Which persists to this day) led to violence in the towns of L'Ánse and Baraga. The old tribal center was gassed and destroyed and armed men were walking through the town. It was a violent uprising against the KBIC tribal government.
