== History ==
The station was the first Brownston market station to sign-on. It went on the air on September 29, 1964 at 1PM as KOIQ-TV. It was the local ABC affiliate.
In 1969, KOIQ announced that ABC refused to renew it's affiliation with KOIQ. ABC announced that it would be affiliating with a new station that was launching: KMFE-TV. On January 1, 1970, the affiliation change took place, as KMFE launched as an ABC affiliate and KOIQ became independent.
In 1972, CBS offered to affiliate with KOIQ, as CBS did not have an affiliate in Brownston. They took up the offer, and on October 9, 1972, KOIQ affiliated with CBS and changed their call letters to KBDO-TV.
On September 2, 1996, Keydoe Communications (the owners of KBDO at the time) announced that the company had gone bankrupt. As a result of this, all 34 Keydoe owned stations would need to find an owner before the end of 1996. On December 27, it was announced that KBDO was the only station without a new owner. Due to this, the station signed off at 11:59 PM on December 31, 1996. It was the first time that KBDO had gone off the air since 1989.
On January 9, 1997, Anoro Inc. (the parent company of Keydoe Communications) filed a form 0386, saying that KBDO was off-air due to financial struggles. Even though KBDO was officially declared a dark station on January 30, Anoro kept the KBDO name just in case. On April 16, Anoro announced that KBDO was sold to Vita Communications, meaning that the station would be back on the air soon. The station returned on May 1, 1997.
In 2015, KBDO launched KBDO 5.2 with a MeTV affiliation.
