Station history.
The station (under callsign KZKK) was originally owned by Dakota Communications, and licensed in Huron, South Dakota. By 2015, KZKK was acquired by Riverfront Broadcasting LLC of Yankton, South Dakota. The purchase allowed KZKK to become Riverfront Broadcasting's third station in the Mitchell area, along with KORN News Radio 1490 (KORN-AM) and Q107.3 (KQRN). Riverfront Broadcasting LLC's ownership moved KZKK's studios to 400 N. Rowley Street in Mitchell, South Dakota, where it occupies a shared facility with KORN News Radio & Q107.3.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) issued callsign of KZKK was used by the station from November 27, 1992 until 2015, when Riverfront Broadcasting LLC requested it to be changed. As of December 16, 2015, KORN Country was approved by the FCC to share its sister station KORN News Radio 1490's callsign of "KORN", granting the station the new callsign of KORN-FM. During its time in Huron as KZKK, the station was originally on the 105.1 MHz frequency.
KZKK was temporarily silent between the time of the purchase by Riverfront Broadcasting LLC, and retook the air on December 21, 2015 under its current form as KORN Country 92.1.
In late 2016, Riverfront Broadcasting LLC sold the station, along with sister stations Q107.3 and KORN News Radio 1490 to Nancy & Steve Nedved. Effective Sunday, January 1, 2017, the three station group is now known as Nedved Media, LLC.
