Public license information

KHKY is a Variety formatted broadcast radio station licensed to and serving Akiachak, Alaska. [1] KHKY is owned and operated by Yupiit School District. [7]

Contents

First launch

The Yupiit School District was granted a construction permit by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on August 22, 2007, to begin building the station that would become KHKY. [8] The new station was given the KHKY callsign eight days later on August 30. [4] KHKY began broadcasting for the first time on October 11, 2007. [9] [10]

The school district failed to file for a renewal of their license by the October 1, 2013 deadline. [11] The station's license was cancelled on February 1, 2014, after the district failed to file for a renewal. [11] The KHKY callsign was deleted the same day. [4]

Members of the Ahiachak School wrote to the FCC on November 28, 2014, asking them to reconsider the cancellation of the station's license. [12] The authors of the letter blamed the school's former principal for being "uninvolved with the radio station" and "neglect[ing] to renew the license in a timely manner". [12] Alaska State Representative Bryce Edgmon (D, 37th) [13] also wrote the FCC asking the commission to reconsider its decision. [14]

The school district filed a formal Petition for Reconsideration on December 5, 2014. [15] [16]

Second launch

The school district began the process to bring KHKY back on the air on March 23, 2015, by reapplying for a construction permit. [17] The new station would use the previously built tower to return to the air. [17]

The station was reissued the KHKY callsign on April 3, 2015. [5] Three days later, the station returned to the airwaves. [2] [3] The station's Petition for Reconsideration was dismissed as moot the same day. [18] [19]
