History

Salem Broadcasters was issued a construction permit by the Federal Communications Commission in 1960 to construct a new AM station broadcasting with 1,000 watts of power on a frequency of 1220 kHz. On December 12, 1961, KAPT began regular broadcast operations under the leadership of general manager Col. Carl W. Nelson.

Less than a decade later, in October 1971, control of KAPT passed to the local 1st Assembly of God. They shifted the programming to Christian talk and had the call sign legally changed to KCCS. In 1973 the name of the license holding company was changed to Christian Center Church and the station's programming shifted again, this time to Contemporary Christian music. The name on the license was changed again in 1974, this time settling on Christian Center of Salem.
