"Cousin' Claude", as his listeners called him, hosted a number of programs, including "Sunny Side of the Street."
Later, in January 1974, KNEX-FM was granted a new license and returned to the air in new facilities next to the original farm house.
In 1979, new owners took over the stations and chose call letters inspired by their names, Joe Engle (KNGL) and Bernard Brown (KBBE-FM).
In April 2022, Davies Communications announced they would sell KNGL and KBBE to Hutchinson-based Ad Astra Per Aspera Broadcasting.
Mornings are locally hosted by Mark Ekeland, with programming for the remainder of the day coming from Westwood One's "Classic Hits Gold" format.
