History
The radio station was put on the air in 1952 and was known as KBBA until 1992. During this time, it broadcast a mostly country/western format with local news, weather,and sports. It was the only radio station in Benton until 1966, when competing radio station KGKO signed on the air at 850 kHz.
The station was owned by the Winston Riddle family of Benton for a number of years before being sold in the early 1990s. The station's call letters were changed to KEWI by new owner Bernie Bottenberg. After falling on hard times, the station was sold to a partnership consisting of longtime Arkansas television broadcaster Jim Landers, and his nephews Steve and Lance Landers who were prominent local car dealers. Jim Landers would later purchase full ownership stock in the station.
