A group of Ord business owners and Lloyd Zikmund, the Valley County Farm Agent at the time, saw a need for a radio station in the area. Somewhere around 12 individuals were involved with the station at that time. Over time the other owners sold their interest until finally it had two owners when Sandhills Advertising Inc. bought it: Dan Misko of Misko Sporting Goods and Lloyd Zikmund. They were 50-50 owners with Misko as President and the one most involved in the day to day operations of the stations, working with and hiring the General Managers over the years.
Original ownership was b y Loup Valley Broadcasting, which, when Misko and Zikmund remained as owners, it became KNLV, Inc.
