Collins area and is currently owned by Plymouth Gathering, Inc.In early 2011, the station aired a commentary regarding Martin Luther King Jr. that caused national controversy.

Though the commentary was reported to be generally factual and has been aired in previous years, the controversy developed because the station owner, Brett Reese was, at the time, a Greeley School Board member. In May 2011 Reese was publicly censured by the school board for being intoxicated at a board meeting and for allegedly inappropriately touching a teacher.
