History and Ownership
In 1997, Roberts Radio of Pleasantville, New York, acquired KSDN and KSDN-FM then, in a separate transaction, acquired KKAA, KKAA-FM, and KQAA-FM.[4] Roberts Radio told the Aberdeen American News that the station's adult contemporary format would be kept, albeit with some improvements.
In June 2000, Clear Channel purchased Roberts Radio in a deal valued at a reported $65.9 million. Aberdeen radio stations KKAA (1560 AM), KQAA (94.9 FM), KSDN (930 AM), KSDN (94.1 FM) and KBFO (106.7 FM) were part of that deal.[5]
In early October 2002, Clear Channel juggled the lineups of KKAA and KSDN to give KKAA a current events talk focus and KSDN a sports talk focus.[6] KKAA shifted from a full-service format mixing country music, agriculture news, and some talk programming to a news and information talk station.[7]
In late November 2004, then-owners Aberdeen Radio Ranch flipped the station's format from all-sports "The Fan" to its present news/talk format as "Aberdeen's Information Station."[8]
