KSQY (95.1 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a Mainstream Rock format. The station known as "K-SKY" is licensed to Deadwood, South Dakota and serves the Rapid City listening area. K-SKY is owned by Haugo Broadcasting, Inc.[1]
History
95.1 K-SKY began broadcasting in August of 1982 [2] from a tower on the summit of Terry Peak in Lead, South Dakota giving the station a very large coverage area that reaches parts of five states. K-SKY uses a 17,000 watt booster licensed to Rapid City with the call letters KSQY-FM1 to help cover the Rapid City metro.
During the mid 1980s the K-SKY was one of the highest rated Album-oriented_rock stations in the US. Through the years K-SKY has changed formats to Classic Rock to Adult Album Alternative to it's current Mainstream Rock format.
The original K-SKY studios were located at 666 Main Street in downtown Deadwood. In 1998, Haugo Broadcasting acquired Rapid City stations KIQK-FM "Kick 104" and KTOQ-AM "K-Talk 1340" from Tom-Tom broadcasting that was owned by newscaster Tom Brokaw. Soon after the purchase, KSKY moved it's studios to Rapid City and joined it's new sister stations. In Sept 2008, Haugo Broadcasting moved into it's new facilities on Canyon Lake Dr.
