History

The station signed on in 2000 as KVAM (changing its call letters to KRKI later that year) with a rhythmic format as Hip Hop Radio serving Newcastle, Wyoming. In 2007, the station upgraded to 100,000 watts and moved to Rapid City, South Dakota, with a format flip to the Real Country satellite network as US 99.5. On January 5, 2009, KRKI switched to a 24-hour simulcast of ESPN Radio becoming the first full-time sports talk station in the Rapid City market.[2]

On April 1, 2012, KRKI changed affiliations from ESPN Radio to Fox Sports Radio, while KTOQ switched to ESPN Radio the same day.[3]

On October 8, 2012, it branded itself "99-5 The Range" and adopted the Classic Country format.[4]

On November 29, 2012, KRKI's city of license was changed from Newcastle, Wyoming to Keystone, South Dakota.

As of February 17, 2017 KRKI updated its music format and rebranded as "True Country 99.5" adopting a Country format featuring top-10 Country hits from 1988–2012.

On April 14, 2017 KRKI added KXZT 107.9 as a simulcast. KXZT's transmitter is located on top of Terry Peak to allow True Country 99.5/107.9 to broadcast the same signal north of Belle Fourche to down south of Chadron, Nebraska as well as all of northeastern Wyoming making it the largest FM signal in the Rapid City/Black Hills area.

gollark: For purposes only, you understand.
gollark: There are lots of *imaginable* and *claimed* gods, so I'm saying "gods".
gollark: So basically, the "god must exist because the universe is complex" thing ignores the fact that it... isn't really... and that gods would be pretty complex too, and does not answer any questions usefully because it just pushes off the question of why things exist to why *god* exists.
gollark: To randomly interject very late, I don't agree with your reasoning here. As far as physicists can tell, while pretty complex and hard for humans to understand, relative to some other things the universe runs on simple rules - you can probably describe the way it works in maybe a book's worth of material assuming quite a lot of mathematical background. Which is less than you might need for, say, a particularly complex modern computer system. You know what else is quite complex? Gods. They are generally portrayed as acting fairly similarly to humans (humans like modelling other things as basically-humans and writing human-centric stories), and even apart from that are clearly meant to be intelligent agents of some kind. Both of those are complicated - the human genome is something like 6GB, a good deal of which probably codes for brain things. As for other intelligent things, despite having tons of data once trained, modern machine learning things are admittedly not very complex to *describe*, but nobody knows what an architecture for general intelligence would look like.
