[edit] History
This station began in 1949 as a KELL (callsign would've stood for Ellis County), but in 1951, it went dark. A year later, callsign KWHA was established, but just like KELL, it too was defunct for 2 years before the station got its third revival as KBEC. The Jazz standard format was in place from 1955 to 1978, then they've switched to a short-lived Spanish format; and again to Big band music with standards added back in. In 1988, KBEC made its permanent change to classic country and has since then maintained the format to this day.
