History

KLEE-FM signed on the air on March 22, 1976, with a mix of MOR and oldies music, and was the sister station at the time to then-Top 40 station KLEE-AM. Right after KLEE-AM dropped its Top 40 format in 1981, its previous Top 40 format moved to KLEE-FM and went under the branding name of "K98". In 1986, its call letters were changed to KOTM.

KOTM-FM

On March 2, 2009, KOTM rebranded from "97.7 KOTM" to "97.7 Tom FM" to prevent confusion of the KOTM call letters, which stand for Otum'''wa. The new branding was named after Tom Palen, the owner was FMC Broadcasting Inc. at the time of the change.
