==History==
The original construction permit for K10OS in Lake Havasu City was granted on August 7, 2002. The permit's original owner was Powell Meredith Communications Company (no relation to [[Meredith Corporation]]), who owned two television stations in [[Yuma, Arizona|Yuma]] ([[KYUM-LP]] and KBFY-LP) which aired religious programming. The station took the call letters KBBA-LP in October 2003.

In March 2005, Powell Meredith sold most of their properties. The construction permit for KBBA-LP, along with a permit for K16GB in [[Kingman, Arizona|Kingman]], were sold to Smoke and Mirrors LLC of Lake Havasu City.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/CA513089.html |title=Deals |work=Broadcasting and Cable |date=March 28, 2005 |accessdate=July 31, 2008}}</ref>  Smoke and Mirrors LLC is a regional broadcaster that also owns several FM properties in [[Mohave County]].
