KBGN (1060 AM) is a daytime only radio station licensed to Caldwell, Idaho, and serving the Boise metropolitan area.
As 1060 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KYW in Philadelphia and XECPAE in Mexico City, KBGN must go off the air at sunset to avoid interference.
[7] KBGN was mentioned in a report from the United States Senate in 1979 regarding the effects of additional stations on clear channel frequencies, as well as an establishment of a commission to improve domestic, international and rural communications.
[8] In the 1950s, evangelist and Southern gospel singer F. Demcy Mylar and architect Harold Shaw sought to put a Christian radio station on the air in the Boise area.
KBGN was mentioned as airing a religious program "Showers of Blessing", originating from Kansas City, Missouri.
The transmitting tower was once used as an auxiliary site for KBXL, before it moved to Deer Point, east of downtown Boise.
