KTNK (1410 AM) is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Lompoc, California, and serves the Santa Maria—Lompoc area. The station, established in 1963,[3] is owned by STICKS MEDIA, LLC [1] and broadcasts a country music format. KTNK features programming from Westwood One.

History

[edit]

The station first signed on May 25, 1963, as KKOK.[3] The station underwent several call sign changes over the next two decades: first to KBIK in 1977; then, to KLVV two years later on November 8, 1979; and finally, to KLLB on August 22, 1983.[4]

In 1985, Sunshine Wireless sold KLLB and its FM sister station KRQK (100.9 FM, now 100.3) to Crystal Broadcasting Inc. for $1.75 million.[5] On September 1, 1987, the AM outlet changed its call letters to KTME.[4] On December 22, 1989, Crystal Broadcasting sold KTME and KRQK to Nova Broadcasting—Santa Maria, headed by Gregg Peterson, for $1.47 million.[6]

The station changed hands several times in the 1990s. Nova Broadcasting sold KTME and KRQK to Padre Serra Communications for $450,000 in May 1993.[7] In March 1995, Padre Serra traded KTME for KSBQ (1480 AM), owned by Los Padres Broadcasting Corporation. Like KTME, KSBQ was licensed to Lompoc, California and broadcast in Spanish.[8] In November 1996, Classic Communications Corporation purchased the station for only $20,000.[9] KTME saw a new owner just one year later as Classic sold the then-silent station to Santa Maria-based Blackhawk Communications for $80,000.[10]

In April 2006, Mapleton Communications sold KTME and the station it was simulcasting, KUHL (1440 AM) in Santa Maria, to Knight Broadcasting Inc.[11] KTME changed its call letters to KINF on July 31, 2006, then to KUHL that September. On January 27, 2009, the station became KSMA.[4]

In February 2014, Knight Broadcasting sold KSMA to Michael Alan Day's Cross and Crown Broadcasting Corporation for $160,000; the transaction closed in May. At the time of the sale, KSMA broadcast a classic country format that was branded as "AM 1410 The Range".[12][13] The new owner changed the station's call sign to KTNK on May 6, 2014.[4]

In September 2023, the station quietly relaunched as "Y'all 103.7", with the station adding a small, but noticeable, number of current and recurrent country hits to the still gold-based format. The previous iteration of the format continues on an online exclusive stream.[14]

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
