The station went on the air as KIFI in 1947 and changed its call sign to KTEE in 1963. On February 22, 1991, the station changed its call sign to KICN, on November 12, 2001, to KZNI, on May 12, 2004, to KSSL, on April 20, 2006, to KBLY, and on October 21, 2014, to KEIR.[2]
On October 1, 2016, KEIR, along with simulcast partner KEII (690 AM) in Blackfoot, replaced most of their talk radio programming with a Mormon-focused Christian adult contemporary format; they continued to air The Dave Ramsey Show. The music programming on "Sunny AM 1260/690" was similar to that heard on Sounds of Sunday, a syndicated program carried on sister station KLCE.[3]
On August 1, 2018, the station changed its call sign to the current KNBL. On September 10, 2018, KNBL changed its format to variety hits, branded as "Cannonball 101"; the station continued to simulcast with KEII.[4]
