History
[edit]The station that is today KCCV (AM)signed onthe air in 1947 asKANS.[7]It first broadcast at 1510kHzand was licensed toIndependence, Missouri.KANS was adaytimer,powered at 1,000 watts and required to go off the air at night. Richard Bott bought KANS in 1962, the first station in the Bott Radio Network. He switched it to a Christian radio format, calling it "Kansas City's Christian Voice." Bott said during a 55th anniversary broadcast in November 2017, that he felt a responsibility and calling to start a Christian radio station.
KCCV-FMsigned on the air on December 1, 1993.[8]While it was not yet built, in 1992, the Bott Broadcasting Company bought theconstruction permitfor $537,500. The plan was to have KCCV-FM air Christian programs around the clock, since the AM station was limited to daytime-only broadcasts. The call letters were chosen to represent "KansasCity'sChristianVoice. "
In 1989, Bott Broadcasting was issued a construction permit to build a new AM station, licensed to Overland Park, at 760 kHz.KCCV (AM)went on the air in 1990, with Bott moving its programming from AM 1510 to AM 760. While 760 at first was also a daytime-only station, its lower position the AM dial and 6,000 watt transmitter gave it one of the best signals in the Kansas City radio market. A few years later, theFederal Communications Commission(FCC) granted KCCV permission to stay on the air at night, but with a reduced power of 200 watts.
