History

KFBI was founded in the summer of 2006 by Sainte Partners II, L.P. owner Chester Smith to bring one of his stations to the Medford market. The station hit the air on July 3, 2006, about one month before the official launch of My Network TV. The station began using its My 48 logo when it launched, even though the network didn't officially start its programming until September. The operations were out of the Sainte offices in Chico, California, home of KCVU FOX 20, MyTV Northern California and three Spanish stations. The sales offices were located on North Riverside Avenue in Medford and Peter Rogers, former general manager at KMVU, served as the station's first full-time general manager.

In November 2007, it was announced that KFBI and sister station KMCW were up for sale, but was never purchased. It remained Sainte property from then on.
