KLMR (920 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a classic country format. Licensed to Lamar, Colorado, United States, the station is owned by Danton Cochell and Kirk Crespin, through licensee Riverside Communications, LLC.[1]
The station signed on in December 1948.[2] Originally operating at 1340 kHz, KLMR moved to 920 kHz in 1955.
On June 11, 2018, KLMR changed its format from classic country to news/talk/sports.[3]
The station's studio and transmitter was destroyed by a microburst on July 23, 2022. 25/7 Media elected not to rebuild the station, and surrendered the licenses of KLMR and sister station KLMR-FM to the FCC on September 21, 2022.[4] That October, the licenses were reinstated, with 25/7 Media instead requesting special temporary authority to keep the stations silent for financial reasons.[5] On January 2, 2023, it was announced that 25/7 Media had sold KLMR and KLMR-FM to Riverside Communications, LLC for $30,000; the sale was consummated on March 1. Riverside planned to rebuild the stations and return them to operational status, with a tentative launch date of early 2023.[6] Testing and tuning of the KLMR signal began on May 8, 2023, with official relaunch with a classic country format scheduled for May 15, 2023[7]
