Contents

KSIG has a power of 1,000 watts. Programming is also heard on FM translator K236CW at 95.1 MHz. The station uses the FM dial position in its moniker, "Sunny 95.1." The stations can also be heard in the Lafayette metropolitan area.

History

KSIG signed on the air in May 1947. [2] It was originally powered at 250 watts, a fraction of its current output. KSIG was a network affiliate of the Mutual Broadcasting System. Through format and ownership changes, it has used the same call sign since then. [3]

On October 4, 2018, Acadia Broadcast Partners, Inc. flipped KSIG from oldies as "Kool 1450" to soft adult contemporary as Sunny 95.1. The format change took place with the sign-on of a new FM translator, K236CW, on 95.1 FM, which also covers the Lafayette metropolitan area.

On April 1, 2023, KSIG changed its format from soft adult contemporary to classic country, branded as "Freedom 95.1". (The classic country format moved from sister station KPCZ-FM 106.7 Rayne.) [4]

On January 19, 2026, KSIG flipped its classic country format back to soft adult contemporary, and brought back its "Sunny 95.1" branding. [5]
