History
KBIA signed on May 1, 1972, from room 11 of Jesse Hall at the University of Missouri. Its transmitter is co-located with KOMU-TV.
In November 2014, KBIA announced it would purchase KWWC-FM (90.5) from neighboring Stephens College. The sale completed,[1] and the classical music format that used to be heard weekdays on KBIA has moved to KMUC. KBIA transitioned into a news/talk/information station similar to sister stations KCUR-FM Kansas City and KWMU St. Louis.
In 2021, KBIA moved their newsroom to Lee Hills Hall to be co-located with The Columbia Missourian, Vox, and Missouri Business Alert.
In 2022, KBIA and KOMU-TV will move to a new tower near the current tower location.
