History

KFH-FM and KBRA
On September 19, 1948, the station signed on the air.  Its original call sign was KFH-FM and its dial position was 100.3 MHz.  It is Wichita's oldest FM outlet.  Like most FM stations at the time, it largely simulcast its AM counterpart, KFH (then at 1330 AM, now at 1240 AM).  In 1965, KFH-FM relocated to its current frequency. Two years later, KFH-FM broke from the AM simulcast and flipped to progressive rock as "Channel 97."

In October 1971, it flipped to easy listening as KBRA.  It played quarter hour sweeps of mostly soft instrumental cover versions of popular songs.  In the summer of 1982, KBRA adjusted its format to soft adult contemporary as "KB-98." Two years later, KBRA changed its call letters to KLZS, rebranded as "Class FM 98" (which later became "Magic 98").  It tweaked its format to include more new age music and smooth jazz.  The long association with KFH-AM was discontinued in 1988, as the two stations were sold to separate owners.

B98 FM
On October 12, 1989, at Noon, the station adopted its current format as "B98 FM” (which would later be renamed as simply “B98” in the late 2010s).  The call sign switched to KRBB to go along with the new identity.  The station's morning show was long hosted by Brett Harris and Tracy Cassidy.  Harris was released from the station in July 2012, while Cassidy was terminated in May 2014.

The B98 Morning Show featured co-hosts Lukas Cox and Careth. Former co-hosts include Theresa Vail (Miss Kansas 2013).

Tornado coverage
KRBB, along with other iHeartRadio stations, partner with KSNW, the local NBC Network affiliate, when tornado warnings are issued in the Wichita area.  During an emergency, KRBB simulcasts the audio of KSNW's severe weather coverage.
