By day, KBNP is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But to protect other stations on 1430 AM at night, when radio waves travel farther, KBNP greatly reduces power to 9 watts. The transmitter is of S.E. Parks Way near the Willamette River.[1]

History

On September 20, 1951 (1951-09-20), the station first signed on the air. Its original call sign was KPAM.

In March 2009, Alan M. Gottlieb applied to transfer control of KBNP Radio, Inc., the licensee of record for this radio station, to the Second Amendment Foundation and the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms, both of Bellevue, Washington. The transfer was approved by the FCC on March 27, 2009.[2]
