History

KLEE-FM signed on the air on the morning of January 19, 1976 featuring a mix of MOR music during the day and simulcasts of its then-Top 40 sister station KLEE-AM at night. Right after KLEE-AM dropped its Top 40 format in 1981, its previous Top 40 format moved to KLEE-FM and went under the branding name of "K98". On June 28, 1986, its call letters were changed to KOTM.

On March 2, 2009, KOTM rebranded from "97.7 KOTM" to "97.7 Tom FM" to prevent confusion of the KOTM call letters, which stand for Otumwa.[2] The new branding was named after Tom Palen, the owner was FMC Broadcasting Inc. at the time of the change.[3]
