History

edit

After receiving its construction permit in 1988, KSUX began broadcasting in the summer of 1990. The station was owned by Violet Communications and broadcast a country format.[1] Violet sold the station in 1991 to Flagship Communications, owners of KSCJ, which relocated the station from a facility near Southern Hills Mall to the KSCJ studios on Indian Hills Drive; the acquisition also saw Flagship divest Yankton-based KBCM to Park Communications.[2] Flagship sold the station to DCP Broadcasting, and Powell acquired KSUX and KSCJ in a $3.8 million purchase in 1995.[3]
