History

KLGT began as a construction permit in 1982. The station was assigned the call letters KLGM on December 6, 1982. On April 1, 1986, the station changed its call sign to the current KLGT. The KLGT calls used to be in Breckenridge, Colorado. That station is now known as KSMT. ^[5]

In 2018, the station was a nominee for Radio Station of the Year, at the first annual Wyoming Country Music Awards.^[6]

In 2021, the station added newscasts from Virtual News Source, which is an out-of-market news provider. Previously, news for the station and its sisters was done in-house.^[7]
