History
At one time, the station was programmed similarly to sister station KCAA in Southern California, with programs including Brother Stair, Alex Jones, Free Talk Live, and Barry W. Lynn.
It used to be licensed as "KMIL," but changed its call sign to "KTAE" on August 1, 2007, and again to "KTON" on December 17, 2012.[1]
gollark: Why do you *have* 11 copies of the same data on disks in the same place, anyway? Weird way to do backups.
gollark: Oh, the SSDs are probably sensible then.
gollark: It might be more if you buy enterprise ones instead of random consumer ones.
gollark: I don't think it works out in favour of SSDs unless you anticipate them saving you issues about three times.
gollark: You mentioned valuing your time at $200/hour earlier. This is about 44TB of storage, assuming it's all 4TB disks. That costs about $4400 (for flash) based on my rough knowledge of pricing.
