For decades, it was owned by Harold Ray "Boe" Cook and Manoah Shadrach "Digger" O'Dell Jr. The two assumed management of KASO in 1961 and 1962, respectively, having come to Minden from Clovis, New Mexico. O'Dell also served four terms on the Webster Parish Police Jury, the parish governing body akin to the county commission in other states. The two were active in community affairs, and O'Dell himself was an accomplished golfer.[2] The station for years stressed local news and offered regular community commentary under the title "Memories of Minden."

In 2013, Richard Chreene and Marvin Davis purchased KASO and sister station KBEF from Robert and Mary Whitaker, the previous owners.[3] The transaction, at a price of $260,000, was consummated on October 23, 2013.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".
