KOBM-FM
KOBM-FM (97.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting an oldies format, partially simulcasting Omaha-based KIBM (1490 AM). Licensed to Blair, Nebraska, United States, the station serves the Blair and Fremont areas with fringe coverage to the northern Omaha metro area. The station is currently owned by Steven W. Seline, through licensee Walnut Radio, LLC. In addition to KIBM, sister stations to KOBM-FM are KHUB and KFMT-FM, both licensed to Fremont. History. The station signed on the air on December 11, 1979 as KBWH at 106.3, with a class-A signal covering portions of the  Omaha market. But a series of signal interferences would lead to the station to switch frequencies to 97.3 on September 10, 2001, and changed its call letters to KBLR-FM, carrying a satellite-fed adult contemporary format as "Blair Radio." The station was initially owned by Baer Radio, before being sold to Waitt Radio; the adult contemporary programming had previously aired on Waitt-owned KISP (101.5 FM), prior to that station's concurrent move from Blair to the Sioux City, Iowa market. On December 31, 2002, at Noon, KBLR-FM began to target Omaha by flipping to urban contemporary as  Hot 107.7 & 97.3, and used a translator in Omaha at 107.7 FM (K299AK) to simulcast the station, as KBLR-FM is a rimshot signal from the north. Despite this arrangement, ratings for the station were very high. However, with the pending loss of K299AK due to a new sign-on from Malvern, Iowa on the same frequency, the format was moved to 106.9 FM on December 29, 2006, evolved to a Rhythmic CHR, and rebranded as "Power 106.9." KBLR-FM/K299AK simulcasted the new frequency until February 1, 2007, when it reverted to targeting the northern rural areas of the  Omaha market by flipping to country music as "Country 97.3." Waitt would later sell the station to Steven Seline's Walnut Radio. The station has since rebranded to "Real Country 97.3." On December 6, 2018, KBLR-FM switched to a partial simulcast of oldies-formatted KOMJ (1490 AM) in Omaha, branded as "Boomer Radio". The call letters were changed to KOBM-FM on December 11, 2018.
