The station went on the air as KGRU on April 22, 1987. On May 1, 1988, the station changed its call sign to the current KARY-FM.[2]
On May 26, 2010, it was rumoured KARY's parent company New Northwest Broadcasters's stations could possibly be sold in the near future. Principal of Revitalization Partners, Alan Davis says "The stations are on the air; it’s business as usual. I can only tell you there appears to be demand for the stations."[3][4] In 2012, the stations were sold to James Ingstad.
