KGVO (1290 AM, "News Talk KGVO") is a radio station licensed to serve Missoula, Montana. The station is owned by Townsquare Media. It airs a News radio format.[2]

The station was assigned the KGVO call letters by the Federal Radio Commission on March 17, 1931.[3]

On May 6, 1932, the FRC authorized KGVO to mover from 1420 kHz to 1200 kHz and to change to unlimited operation rather than its previous 10 a.m.-6 p.m. schedule. At that time, KGVO had 100 W power.[4]

KGVO has been the flagship station of Montana Grizzlies football and men's basketball for decades; it frequently brands itself as "Home of the Grizzlies."

Ownership

Previous AM-only branding

In October 2007, a deal was reached for KGVO to be acquired by GAP Broadcasting II LLC (Samuel Weller, president) from Clear Channel Communications as part of a 57 station deal with a total reported sale price of $74.78 million.[5] What eventually became GapWest Broadcasting was folded into Townsquare Media on August 13, 2010.[6]
