KSKU (94.7 FM, "Hit Radio 94.7") is a radio station broadcasting a contemporary hit radio format.[1] Licensed to Sterling, Kansas, USA, the station serves the Hutchinson, Kansas area. The station is currently owned by Ad Astra Per Aspera Broadcasting, Inc.[2] The KSKU call letters have been moved to 5 different frequencies across the FM band in central Kansas since 1985. The original KSKU (102.1 FM) is now country formatted KZSN, and located in Wichita. As well as music, the station broadcasts several high school football and basketball games from area schools. KSKU also broadcasts the Kansas Jayhawks football and men's basketball games.

On September 2, 2011, around 2:20 AM, a fire destroyed the studios of Ad Astra Per Aspera Broadcasting, which included KSKU, as well as KWHK, KNZS, and KXKU. As a result, all four stations were off the air for nearly a month until new studios were set up, which were temporarily relocated to a nearby building. At 7:00 PM on Wednesday, September 28, 2011, KSKU 94.7 as well as KNZS 100.3 returned to the air. The first song after the relaunch was "Meet Me Halfway" by the Black Eyed Peas. To date, the station has permanently relocated.
