History

Radiant Light Broadcasting began broadcasting as K66BW, a translator for the national Trinity Broadcasting Network, in January 1985. In July 1989, it moved to channel 49 and became K49CN, branded "KRLB".[3][1] KRLB was later added to the cable system in the Tri-Cities and even reinstated after viewer outcry followed its removal in 1996.[4] In 2001, the transmitter at Badger Mountain suffered vandalism, leaving the station temporarily unable to present local programming.[5]

As of March 17, 2009, KRLB broadcasts only in digital.
