History

[edit]

The station was assigned the call sign KGWY on January 18, 1983, as Y-100, a Top-40 station.[4][5]

Transmitter used by KGWY located at 44°14′35″N 105°32′19″W in Gillette, Wyoming. Sister station KIML-FM also broadcasts from this tower.

In 2024, the ownership of Legend Communications underwent a major restructuring. Co-owner Susan K. Patrick was sentenced to prison for tax fraud, which included evading taxes on millions of dollars in income. She was ordered to pay restitution exceeding $3.8 million. Following this, her ex-husband and co-founder, W. Lawrence Patrick, filed an application with the FCC to become the sole owner of Legend Communications, taking over Susan Patrick's 50% stake.[6][7]
