History

On September 29, 1982, the station was taken off the air temporarily when lightning struck the transmitter building which damaged the ducting and allowed water into the transmission equipment.[3] At the time, the transmitter building was located 10 miles south of Yankton in Nebraska at the intersection of Highway 81 and Nebraska Highway 12. KKYA continues to broadcast from the same site south of Yankton, with studios and offices located in downtown Yankton.

Ownership

In February 2008, Riverfront Broadcasting LLC reached an agreement with NRG Media to purchase this station as part of a six station deal.[4][5]

gollark: Since unlike with wired networks, it has a fairly small "bus" which all devices ever have to use.
gollark: I think WiFi now has a bunch of AP-side coordination mechanisms for higher throughput, which might be hard to decentralize.
gollark: Oh, wait, there is another issue, actually.
gollark: We have experimental self-organizing mesh networks already, and modern networking hardware is fairly powerful and cheap. Although I don't know how good the mesh stuff is at dealing with really fast re-peering, which is necessary in practice.
gollark: No, those are basically already solved, the incentives are difficult.
