The station began broadcasting on April 10, 1976,[2] as KMCS in Gatesville.[3] It originally aired country and easy listening music and was owned by George W.

By 1981, Monarch was more than $100,000 in debt to McClarin for the purchase of the station, prompting McClarin to seek a default judgment against Monarch in Hamilton County court. The station went off air February 2, 1982, six days before its assets were confiscated.[5] Monarch had filed to change the call letters to KPEP during this time.[6] A receiver was appointed; in September, broadcasting resumed.[7] KPEP aired the same country format as KMCS-FM had.[8][9] In 1983, the station was sold to C.D.L.R.
