[3] Allen, however, sold the station within 9 months to founding general manager F. Gilbert Lieser; the call letters were changed on March 15, 1953 to KJUN, reflecting the name of the new ownership: Juniper Broadcasters.
[4] However, when Don Anderson was named the fire chief of Redmond in 1967, he announced his intention to sell KPRB to devote himself to his new duties.
In August 1968, the Andersons filed to sell the station to William and Willa Miller; the Federal Communications Commission approved the application in February 1969, but the purchase was not consummated.
[12] Three years later, BBS Communications, owned by KPRB general manager William A. Moller, acquired Big Sky Broadcasters for $70,000.
[13] The ownership carousel that had characterized KPRB throughout its history spun again when California Oregon Broadcasting acquired the station in 1980.
[14] BBS had applied for the 92.7 FM allotment for Redmond in 1980, but its bid was dismissed that May; the station went on the air February 4, 1981 as Contemporary Christian outlet[15] KSBC, owned by the Sonshine Broadcasting Company.
