History
[edit]KYNT began its broadcasting career on March 15, 1955, after being authorized by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) in January of that year.[5] The station was founded by the Yankton Broadcasting Company, led by real estate developer William M. Smith. Its call letters were chosen to represent the city of "YaNkTon."[6] Notably, legendary news anchor Tom Brokaw worked at KYNT during his high school years in the mid-1950s. In 1960, the station was sold to Leon T. Scoblic and Lloyd G. Reedstrom, who moved all operations to the transmitter site on North Highway 81.[7] Over the decades, KYNT has transitioned through several formats, including "Middle-Of-The-Road" (MOR) and Contemporary, eventually settling into its long-standing role as a full-service community station. In 2008, the station was acquired by Riverfront Broadcasting LLC, owned by Doyle and Carolyn Becker.[8]
Ownership
[edit]In February 2008, Riverfront Broadcasting LLC reached an agreement with NRG Media to purchase this station as part of a six station deal.[9]
