 On March 21, 1960, Harry O'Connor would request to move the control point and studios for KGKB from the Kilgore Highway location to 116 South Broadway in Tyler, which was granted on April 8th.O'Connor's stewardship of KGKB would ultimately prove to be a literal dark period for the facility, with the Commission deferring the license renewal pending further consideration on July 25, 1962.This would lead the facility to go silent under temporary authorization for lengthy periods of time during the next 3 years.
