KNNS (1510 AM) is a news/talk station in Larned, Kansas, near Great Bend. The Regional Mexican format began in October 2010. Before this, it was an affiliate of ESPN Radio from the spring of 2008 to 2010; before ESPN, it was an oldies station with the slogan "Music you remember". Before being an oldies station, it was a general talk radio outlet. According to http://centralkansasradio.com/knns-1510/, it is now again a talkradio station: "The Patriot".
In order to protect clear channel stations WLAC in Nashville, Tennessee and KGA in Spokane, Washington, also at 1510AM, KNNS must sign off at local sunset every day.
As part of owner Rocking M Media's bankruptcy reorganization, in which 12 stations in Kansas would be auctioned off to new owners, it was announced that Hutchinson-based Ad Astra Per Aspera Broadcasting was the winning bidder for KNNS, KSOB and Salina-based KVOB for $40,000, on October 31. While the bankruptcy court has approved the purchase, the sale must be filed to the FCC for approval.[1]
