The station started as a construction permit in Youngstown, Ohio, which was owned by TBN, who aimed to start a TBN affiliate in the area. In 2018, the permit was sold to Lake Hill Broadcasting, who moved the permit to Oregon and kept the planned call signs, thus giving the station a unique set of call letters. It also wanted to affiliate the station with NBC. The transmitter was built in 2019, and the studio complex was completed in early 2020, with newscasts starting later that year.
