History
This station began broadcasting January 14, 1941, with 250 watts of power on a frequency of 1240 kHz as KWIL.[4] The station, the first licensed by the FCC to serve Albany, was owned and operated by the Central Willamette Broadcasting Company.[4] In 1953, KWIL changed frequencies to 790 kHz and increased the power of its signal to 1,000 watts, albeit in a directional array with different daytime and nighttime coverage patterns.[5]
KWIL was acquired by Larry Gordon's Albany Radio Corporation on July 1, 1957.[1] Christian broadcaster Integrity Media acquired KWIL and KHPE, its FM sister station, in 1980. Integrity Media changed its name to Extra Mile Media, Inc., in 2005.[3]
