History
The station call letters became KIXT in 1999, when SAGA Communications Inc. purchased 930 AM from Bellingham Broadcasting Corporation. In 2001, the station call sign was again changed to the current KBAI, first programmed as an easy listening format then flipped to oldies. 930 AM first began broadcasting in 1958 as KENY, a daytime radio station. The call letters were changed to KBFW in 1968 and they remained the same until the sale of the station in 1999. KBFW aired a country music format for 30 years.
On August 1, 2017, KBAI changed their format from progressive talk to classic hits, branded as "98.9 K-Bay" (the FM frequency is for FM translator K255DC Bellingham).
