Shows included Campus Talent, Campus Variety Show, Quiz Show, Music of the Masters and Campus News, alongside Popular Music Requests and KBYU Players Present.<br/><br/>BYU professor T. Earl Pardoe first proposed the idea of a campus radio station to student Owen S. Rich, who had previously worked as a studio engineer and was just returning from serving as a radio and radar technician for the Coast Guard in World War II. It was Richâs idea to work with Provo so that the cityâs power-line network would become the stationâs antennae, and in 1948 KBYU became available citywide.</span></p><!--]--><!--]--><!--]--></div><div class="info item4"><!--[--><!--[--><!----><h2 class="info__header">Switch to FM</h2><!----><!----><!--[--><p data-lines="0" class="info__para--primary info__para"><span>In 1958, various BYU construction projects meant that the KBYU studios would lose access to Provo power lines and another means of broadcast needed to be found. At the same time, FM transmissions were emerging as the industry standard but required a license from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC). Owen Rich, now a member of the BYU faculty, filed the application on Aug. 17, 1959 and received approval in 1960. At the time the call letters âKBYUâ were assigned to a liberty ship, so on May 9, 1960, BYU began FM broadcasts as KBRG.

Earl Pardoe first proposed the idea of a campus radio station to student Owen S. Rich, who had previously worked as a studio engineer and was just returning from serving as a radio and radar technician for the Coast Guard in World War II.
