Claim: KATO, owned by the Sierra Broadcasting Company and notable for being the second radio station in Boulder City, eventually became KXEQ when it was sold to Rolando Collantes in 1991.
Evidence: After an attempt to sell the license to Sterling Broadcasting in 1980 fell through, KBET was sold the next year to Reno Electronics, owned by former KOLO radio-TV general manager Stan Weisberger; the new ownership retained KBET's country format but sought to relocate the studios and acquire new equipment. KATO (1946–1959)
KBET (1959–1987)
KRCV (1987–1991) On May 28, 1959, KATO became KBET.
