History
This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on August 8, 2002.[1] The new station was assigned the KVKK call sign by the FCC on November 27, 2002.[2]
In October 2005, permit holder D&E Communications applied to the FCC to transfer the construction permit to DJ Broadcasting Corp. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 1, 2005, and the transaction was consummated on November 4, 2005.[3] KVKK received its license to cover from the FCC on December 5, 2005.[4]
When first launched, KVKK broadcast a classic country music format, including syndicated programming from Dial Global.[5]
On June 30, 2015, KVKK changed their call letters to KSKK and picked up the "Arrow" adult contemporary format from KSKK 94.7 FM Staples, MN, which moved to the Detroit Lakes area as 94.5 FM KDLB.
1070 AM was previously occupied by KMOM, an American radio station licensed to Monticello, Minnesota, USA during the 1980s and early 1990s.
