In July 2021, Nanette Valdez-Schwartz was the winning bidder for the Medicine Bow construction permit during FCC Auction 109.[4] Although the post-auction long-form application was filed two weeks past the deadline, the Federal Communications Commission granted a waiver to proceed with the station's development, citing the public interest in establishing a new radio service for the community.[4]
