History
In the 1980s, the then-K49AY carried a combination of Home Shopping Network and Spanish-language programming, serving Cheyenne, Wyoming. In 2000 (ca), it rebroadcast Denver's ABC affiliate, KMGH.
K49AY was shut down on October 22, 2002, following the FCC fining the station for $10,000 for being on the air with an improper license, following its renewal. The fine was lowered to $4000, after it convinced the FCC that it was a clerical error on their part.[1][2]
K49AY remerged in 2005, carrying Almavision programming.
The station was licensed for digital operation on June 24, 2015, changing the call sign to K16LE-D. On July 17, 2015, the call letters were changed to KBRO-LD.[3] Echonet Corporation had earlier held a construction permit for a digital low power station (K18II-D) in Cheyenne that would have broadcast on UHF channel 18.[4]
Effective April 10, 2019, KBRO-LD was licensed to move its community of license from Cheyenne to Fort Collins.
