History

Prior use of 1400 kHz

Casper's third radio station, KATI, operated on 1400 kHz from 1956 to 1987. For most of its history a contemporary station, KATI failed in 1987 as a result of a soft regional economy, the rise of FM station KTRS-FM, and a major debt to one of the station's prior owners. The license was donated to the University of Wyoming, but bids were rejected as too low and the cost of restoring it too high for the university, and UW let the license lapse in 1993.

KKTL

The 1400 AM frequency would be back in business in 1999 with talk radio and sports radio, [2] with the playing of the national anthem.
