[edit] 2005 tower collapse

On November 14, 2005, the tower for the station collapsed due to icing and a wind storm that had moved through the area. The tower that collapsed was constructed in June of 2004, following a previous collapse of the original tower, constructed in 2001.^[2]

[edit] Signal

KNYN also broadcasts local high school sports games from Evanston as well. KNYN shares its studios with sister station KEVA 1240 AM. The station's transmitter is located on a mountain north of Evanston, Wyoming, and it broadcasts 27,500 watts to almost all of Uinta County, and far western Sweetwater County. KNYN can also be heard in various parts of northern Utah.

[edit] Construction permit

KNYN has applied for a construction permit to both increase its power to 89,000 watts, and move it's transmitter to a mountain located across the border in the Uinta Mountain Range. Moving the transmitter should allow the station to be heard in Salt Lake City, where it was previously impossible to do so. The mountain in question is also home to several other FM radio stations such as KBMG (also from Evanston), KJQN, KYMV, KOAY, and KYLZ.
