KBAD-FM was a broadcast radio station licensed to and serving Sioux Falls, South Dakota.[1] KBAD-FM is owned and was operated by Charles Brennan.[4]
History
The station was previously owned by the University of Sioux Falls, with the call letters KCFS, and was purchased in September 2015 for the sum of 1.5 million dollars.
The station permanently ceased operation on September 23, 2017 and was advertised for sale, citing result of on-going litigation between owner Chuck Brennan and his other Dollar Loan Center businesses against the state of South Dakota, related to recent lending laws ruling according to press release published on http://www.kbad945.com/.
Upon closure of KBAD-FM and its related entities, four of the main on-air personalities (Crazy Frank, The Metal Cowboy-Ron Keel(http://www.ronkeel.com/), Crash, and The Rev) just didn't have enough of the intense vibe and following that was generated by the KBAD audience and formed https://kback.rocks/ as an online streaming radio station (based "somewhere in an underground bunker in Sioux Falls, SD") that went live on the Live365 streaming radio service on October 21, 2017. They quickly went to the number one stream on Live365 in just a few hours, on their first debut with three of the four co-hosts on October 23, 2017, which has never been seen before on that service.
