KBEF (104.5 FM, "Real Country 104.5") is a radio station broadcasting a Classic Country format.[2] Licensed to Gibsland, Louisiana, United States, the station is currently owned by Minden Broadcasting, LLC and features programming from Local Radio Networks.[3]

History

The Federal Communications Commission issued a construction permit for the station on March 9, 1998, to Northstar Enterprises, Inc.[4] The station was assigned the KBEF call sign on May 1, 1998.[5] On September 30, 2000, the permit was assigned by Northstar to the former owners, the Greenwood Acres Baptist Church.[6] The station was granted its license to cover on May 23, 2001.[7]

In 2013, Richard Chreene and Marvin Davis purchased KBEF and its sister station KASO in Minden from Robert and Mary Whitaker, the previous owners.[8] The purchase, at a price of $260,000, was consummated on October 23, 2013.
