[edit] History and Ownership

In 1997, Roberts Radio of Pleasantville, New York, acquired KSDN and KSDN-FM then, in a separate transaction, acquired KKAA, KKAA-FM, and KQAA-FM.[4] Roberts Radio told the Aberdeen American News that the station's adult contemporary format would be kept, albeit with some improvements.

In late November 2004, then-owners Aberdeen Radio Ranch flipped the station's format from all-sports "The Fan" to its present news/talk format as "Aberdeen's Information Station."[5]

In May 2006, Armada Media Corporation reached an agreement to acquire KBFO, KGIM, KGIM-FM, KNBZ, KSDN, and KSDN-FM from Aberdeen Radio Ranch for a reported $9.25 million.[6]
