KPBN started as K07UJ, a translator station for the Woody Jenkins-owned WBTR.
Troy was listed in 1980 as a donor to U.S. Senator Russell B. Long, who won his last term that year by defeating then Democrat, later Republican, Woody Jenkins.
Six years earlier, he had contributed to the unsuccessful Republican senatorial candidate Woody Jenkins of Baton Rouge, with whom Orr served in the legislature.
The station is managed by former state senator Woody Jenkins, who once owned and managed WBTR and features programming local to the Central area, such as news coverage, local sports, and council and school board meetings.
