The station went on the air in 1961 as KATN. The call sign was KKIC on 1981-10-26. On 1987-06-23, the station changed its call sign to KJHY, on 1988-02-26 to KKIC, on 2003-08-17 to KNJY, and on 2011-08-01 to the current KMHR.[2]

Effective April 12, 2018, First Western sold KMHR and K252FA to Azteca Media, LLC for $250,000.
