History

The station was initially licensed on 1230 kHz in 1948, receiving it's license to cover on February 23, 1949. The station started with 250 watts, the then-limit for so-called graveyarder frequencies, referred to as local frequencies by the FCC. In November of 1953, the station applied to move to 1330 kHz and increase power to 1,000 watts day and night. The station was owned by Fremont Broadcasting. The station received a power increase to 5,000 watts in 1962.

For much of its life, the station carried a country music format.

In 2021, the station was sold from Fremont Broadcasting to Kairos Broadcasting, along with sister station KDLY.

In September 2022, KOVE changed its format from country to news/talk.
