KVOC was owned by Natrona Country Tribune.〔()〕 The station was bought by Harry and Alice Bubeck in 1964. The station remained under the ownership of one of the Bubecks until being sold to its current owner Mt. Rushmore Broadcasting in the late 1990s. After the sale Alice continued her ''Morning Magazine'' program on the station. KVOC started out with a middle of the road (music) format. Then in the late 1960s the station switched over to a country music format, ending some time in the late 1990s, when it was sold to its current owner. At that time it changed over to an oldies format, before switching to an adult standards format. After that the station was an ESPN Radio affiliate. Although competing radio station KKTL is now the ESPN Radio affiliate, the logo is still painted on the window of the station's downtown Casper studio. During the 1990s, before the sale of the station it was the home of ''The Rush Limbaugh Show''. While the first two hours were broadcast live the last hour was run one hour later at 1 pm instead of 12 noon, in order to allow the station to air its own programming in that time slot. The station also aired programming from the Northern Ag Network, weather forecasts from Don Day, its own "Sky Watch" forecasts, Paul Harvey, and the American Country Countdown. Now ''Rush Limbaugh'', ''The Northern Ag Network'', and Don Day can be heard on K2 Radio. KVOC was one of Casper's first country radio stations to be heard in stereo. The station did not broadcast in stereo. Instead the local cable company rebroadcast this station on the FM dial. Cable subscribers who plugged their coaxial cable into their stereo could listen to KVOC, and channels like HBO through the stereo. This service was known as cable stereo, or cable radio, or cable FM. KVOC went off the air for a time. The station was brought back to life in 2013, and was reported to be planning to air an all talk format. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KVOC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
