History

Northern Wyoming Community College was granted a construction permit for a channel 6 translator of ABC affiliate KTWO-TV (channel 2) in Casper, and assigned the call letters K06AT, on July 31, 1979. [1] In 2007, the college transferred the facility to Nexstar Media Group, owners of Fox affiliate KHMT (channel 4) at Hardin, Montana, which the station was rebroadcasting, for no purchase price. The station was off air following the digital transition in 2009.

Lovcom, Inc., owner of the Sheridan Media cluster of radio stations, purchased K06AT from Nexstar in 2010 after being successful in obtaining authorization to move the station to the tower of its KYTI. [2] At that time, it began airing sports radio programming, originally from ESPN Radio, which had previously aired on an HD Radio subchannel of KYTI.

As with all television stations operating as radio stations on channel 6, this station was required to convert to digital on July 13, 2021, ending the FM radio service. [3] Lovcom had advocated in filings with the Federal Communications Commission for technologies that would allow the transmission of an ATSC signal and the FM audio program in the same 6 MHz, [4] but no ATSC 3.0 modification was ever filed for KSHW-LP, which closed at the deadline and had its license deleted.
