History [edit]
Longtime Alaskan broadcaster Dick Lobdell identified KBYR as the source of the famous Alaskan blooper presented on Kermit Schaefer's blooper albums of an announcer declaring that he would be "taking a leak out the window" to determine how cold it was.
KBYR was originally on 1240 kHz. It moved to 1270 kHz in 1956 then to 700 kHz in 1971.
Translators [edit]
In addition to the main station, KBYR is relayed by an additional 2 translators to widen its broadcast area.
