01History

KRLC began broadcasting in late 1934 or early 1935. It was licensed to H.E. Studebaker.

On August 31, 2023, KRLC ceased operations due to the loss of its tower site. The studio building, which had housed the station since 1947, was then used as a training ground for the Lewiston Fire Department, and was intentionally burned down in November 2025. The Federal Communications Commission cancelled the station’s license on January 7, 2026, after failing to respond to an inquiry regarding the station's silence.
