## History

KSIM went on the air in 1948 and was owned by the Sikeston Community Broadcasting Company. It broadcast with 250 watts until beginning broadcast at 1,000 watts during the day in 1962. KSIM was able to get on the air because of KFVS—the future KZIM—moving to 960 kHz. Prime Time Broadcasting Corporation bought KSIM in 1977. It was sold to KSIM, Inc., in 1993, and to the Zimmer Radio Group in 1996.
