History

Throughout the 1980s, and into the early 1990s, 93.1 KSND (known as “K-Sound” or “The Sound” for a time) had a Top 40 format. It was an affiliate of Rick Dees Weekly Top 40.

In late 1992, KSND was sold to McKenzie River Broadcasting, Inc. which ended the longtime Top 40 format at the end of year. On January 1, 1993, KSND began a two-week-long simulcast with its new sister station; “Magic 94” KMGE. In mid-January, “New Country 93” debuted with “Today’s Hottest New Country” and the new callsign KKNU.

In 2006, KKNU moved from 93.1 to 93.3, to allow KAST-FM (now KRYP) to move into the Portland market on 93.1.

Translators

KKNU programming is also carried on a network of broadcast translator stations to extend or improve the coverage area of the station.
