The station was assigned the KBST-FM call letters by the Federal Communications Commission on March 17, 1989.[1]

The station began in 1961 as independently owned KFNE (K-Fine) on 95.3 MHz. The studios and transmitter were in a downtown building. Longtime Texas broadcaster John B. Walton, Jr. had a one-third ownership interest in the 1960s until the station was sold to crosstown 1270 KHEM (AM) (now deleted). The transmitter was moved to the nearby hill above Big Spring.
