History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on August 8, 2002. [2] The new station was assigned the KVKK call sign by the FCC on November 27, 2002. [3]

In October 2005, permit holder D&E Communications applied to the FCC to transfer the construction permit to DJ Broadcasting Corp. The deal was approved by the FCC on November 1, 2005, and the transaction was consummated on November 4, 2005. [4] KVKK received its license to cover from the FCC on December 5, 2005. [5]

When first launched, KVKK broadcast a classic country music format, including syndicated programming from Dial Global. [6]

On June 30, 2015, KVKK changed its call sign to KSKK and picked up the "Arrow" adult contemporary format from KSKK 94.7 FM Staples, MN, which moved to the Detroit Lakes area as 94.5 FM KDLB.

In 2021, the KK Radio Network announced the sale of KSKK to Gabriel Media. Gabriel owns KKJM in St. Cloud, which airs a Christian Contemporary format, and KYES in Rockville which airs Catholic/Christian programming Relevant Radio. [7]

In September 2021, KSKK flipped from adult contemporary to Catholic/Christian programming from Relevant Radio following the sale to Gabriel Media's, which closed on Sept. 27,2021. [8]
