Until May 20, 2009, KXPC-FM (then licensed to Lebanon, Oregon) broadcast a country music format branded as "Pure Country 103.7." On May 20, 2009, the station fell silent for technical and financial reasons. The FCC granted the station temporary authority to remain silent on November 20, 2009, with a scheduled expiration of May 20, 2010. If the station did not resume broadcasting by the date, its broadcast license would be subject to automatic forfeiture as it would have been off the air continuously for a full year. The Educational Media Foundation announced that the station would be operated as a "satellite" of KLVR in Middletown, California, as part of the K-LOVE radio network.
