==History==
In the 1980s, the then-K49AY carried a combination of [[Home Shopping Network]] and Spanish-language programming, serving [[Cheyenne, Wyoming]]. In 2000, it rebroadcast [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] affiliate [[KMGH-TV|KMGH]] (channel 7) in [[Denver]].

K49AY was shut down on October 22, 2002, following the FCC fining the station for $10,000 for being on the air with an improper license, following its renewal. The fine was lowered to $4000, after it convinced the FCC that it was a clerical error on their part.<ref>[http://www.fcc.gov/eb/FieldNotices/2003/DOC-237645A1.html FCC document on K49AY shutdown]</ref><ref>[http://www.rbr.com/tvepaper/issue248-04-xmas.html News blurb on K49AY shutdown (under "Washington Beat")]</ref>

K49AY reemerged in 2005, carrying [[Almavision]] programming.

The station was licensed for digital operation on June 24, 2015, changing the call sign to K16LE-D. On July 17, 2015, the call letters were changed to KBRO-LD.<ref name=fcc-callsigns>{{cite web|title=Call Sign History|url=http://licensing.fcc.gov/cgi-bin/ws.exe/prod/cdbs/pubacc/prod/call_hist.pl?Facility_id=18475&Callsign=KBRO-LD|website=CDBS Public Access|publisher=[[Federal Communications Commission]]|accessdate=July 22, 2015}}</ref> Echonet Corporation had earlier held a [[construction permit]] for a digital low power station (K18II-D) in Cheyenne that would have broadcast on UHF channel 18.<ref>[http://www.fcc.gov/fcc-bin/tvq?list=0&facid=168465 FCC Record for Facility ID 168465]</ref>

Effective April 10, 2019, KBRO-LD was licensed to move its community of license from Cheyenne to Fort Collins.
