KKGK was previously known as KRAM which was powered at 1,000 watts by day before it was changed to ABSCBN and sold to the ABC Entertainment Radio Network and then eventually to Southern Nevada Radio.
Meanwhile, Nevada Broadcasting, Incorporated, acquired the 1340 frequency, and began airing country music as 1340 KRAM. In 1985, the station was acquired by Southern Nevada Radio, which changed the call sign to KMTW. It was an affiliate of the ABC Entertainment Radio Network.
