The station signed on in 1986, as the first sister station of KUGR, which had been broadcasting for ten years at the time. Like its sister stations, the station is currently owned by Wagonwheel Communications Corporation.[2] Music on KYCS is primarily satellite fed. The network, known as [Today's Best Hits](/source/Today's_Best_Hits) from [Westwood One](/source/Westwood_One), hosts numerous [DJs](/source/DJs) throughout the day, including a morning show. KYCS celebrated its twenty first year of broadcasting in 2007. The station often broadcasts local events, such as an annual blood drive between Green River High School, and Rock Springs High School.[3][4] KYCS is one of several local stations that broadcast school closures as well.[5] ## History KYCS first came to air in 1986, as the second station in the Radio Network group. It was and continues to be owned by Alan Harris through Wagonwheel Communications.[6][7][8] KYCS was part of a study to add a new radio station to [Meeker, Colorado](/source/Meeker%2C_Colorado), which was requesting an opportunity to move to [Craig, Colorado](/source/Craig%2C_Colorado). The station had to consider adjacent frequencies, of which KYCS was one.[9] That station became [KAYW](/source/KAYW) on 98.1. In July 2023, The Radio Network, the parent company of KYCS, expanded its media footprint by acquiring the digital publisher SweetwaterNOW, forming the largest multi-media company in southwest Wyoming and allowing for greater integration between radio and digital local news coverage.[10] ## Signal The radio tower for KYCS. Like its sister stations, KYCS broadcasts from a tower located on [Wilkins Peak](/source/Wilkins_Peak), which is just outside Rock Springs.[11] The 11,500 watt signal reaches into parts of northern [Utah](/source/Utah) to the south. To the west, the station reaches [Evanston](/source/Evanston%2C_Wyoming) before fading out completely. To the east, [Rawlins](/source/Rawlins%2C_Wyoming) receives fringe coverage. KYCS can be heard as far north as the [Wind River](/source/Wind_River_Range) mountain range. The tower for KYCS is 7,638 feet (2,328 m) above sea level on Wilkins Peak.[12] ## References 1. **[^](#cite_ref-FCC-LMS-20482_1-0)** ["Facility Technical Data for KYCS"](https://enterpriseefiling.fcc.gov/dataentry/public/tv/publicFacilityTechDetails.html?facilityId=20482). *Licensing and Management System*.
