KBHC (101.1 MHz) is a commercial radio station licensed to serve Medicine Bow, Wyoming, United States. The station is owned by the Bunkhouse Network, LLC and broadcasts a Classic country music format branded as "BunkHouse Country". [2]
The station's origins date back to a 2011 FCC filing for a new FM allotment in Medicine Bow, part of a broader effort to expand local radio service to the sparsely populated Carbon County region.[3] The construction permit was eventually acquired by the Bunkhouse Network, LLC. 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]
The was originally intended to be a Saratoga, Wyoming based station. While originally proposed as a higher-power Class C3 facility, the station's operator applied for a technical downgrade to a Class A facility in late 2025, and it's transmitter was moved to Medicine Bow.[5] The station currently operates with an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100 watts.[5][6]
