It serves the entire Golden Triangle (Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange) and is owned by iHeartMedia.

KOBS signed on the air July 14, 1972, with an ERP of 55 kilowatts, at a height of 215 meters, from a transmission site on Moss Lane in Orange County, 7 miles northwest of Orange, Texas.

The station flipped formats to the current Rhythmic Top 40 playlist in 2011.

KKMY plays hit music from iHeartMedia Premium Choice's "Wild" Rhythmic format feed, targeted towards a younger audience.

Patterned after its sister station in Houston, KQBT, the translator/HD2 combo is targeting younger listeners as it takes on Cumulus Urban KTCX, who, like sister station KQXY, caters to adult listeners with a conservative playlist.
