KPTO (1440 AM) is a radio station licensed to Pocatello, Idaho, USA. The station serves the Pocatello area. The station is currently owned by Tim Aalders, through licensee Freedom's Voice Radio LLC[1]
History
The station went on the air as KBET on 01/25/2002[2]
On December 18, 2008, radio industry website 100000watts.com reported that KPTO had gone silent the preceding day, though no explanation was given for this.
On May 29, 2009, the Fifth District Court in Washington County, UT appointed a receiver to take over KPTO-AM for US Capital, Incorporated of Boulder CO. The investment company foreclosed on Legecy Media, the owners of KPTO and several other stations. At this time the station remains silent. The receiver sold the station to Ted Austin's Main Street Broadcasting, LLC in a District Court approved sale which was conditioned upon the FCC renewing the station's license. Main Street paid $41,000 in a transaction that was consummated on November 19, 2013.
KPTO was sold by Main Street to Freedom's Voice Broadcasting Corporation, co-owned by Tim Aalders and Anthony Bean, in a transaction that was consummated on May 16, 2014. The price paid by Freedom's Voice Broadcasting was $75,000. Shortly thereafter, Aalders assumed control of the station through his fully owned licensee Freedom's Voice Radio LLC. Aalders paid $32,000 for KPTO in a transaction that was consummated on June 17, 2014.
