KNYN (99.1 FM) is an radio station licensed to Fort Bridger, Wyoming. The station carries a country music format.
KNYN has carried audio from the General Conference of the Latter Day Saints, from Salt Lake City.[3] KNYN is an affiliate of Day Weather, a statewide weather forecast provided to radio stations.[4]
KNYN began as a construction permit in 1998.[5]
It was owned by M. Kent Frandsen. The station received its license to cover on September 7, 2001. The station was known as Magic 99, carrying a hot adult contemporary format. For much of its life, KNYN was a sister station to KEVA 1240 AM through a local marketing agreement, or LMA. In 2010, the owners of KEVA station decided to return KNYN to Frandsen.[6]
KNYN was originally part of a larger frequency shuffle in Salt Lake City, about 63 air miles from Evanston. KNYN would change frequencies to 103.9 and move to Humpy Peak, where former sister KOTB moved when it changed from 106.1 to 106.3 MHz. The move ultimately did not happen.[7][8]
The station flipped formats to country music.
In the mid-1990s, the frequency was home to KNYN 'Canyon Country,' in Sana Fe, NM. It was owned by James O'Leary's Plaza Broadcasting and operated from studios at 1718 W. Alameda Street.
