KTNY

Lincoln County Broadcasters, owner of KLCB, applied for a new station on 101.7 MHz in Libby on April 20, 1983.^[4] The station was assigned call sign KVAD on December 3, 1984, which was changed to KTNY on January 16, 1985.^[1] The call sign refers to Kootenay, the Canadian spelling of Kootenai, the name of the Native American tribe of the area; the Kootenai River and the Kootenai National Forest are also named for the tribe.

KTNY went on the air April 6, 1986, with an adult easy listening format^[5] and an affiliation with the ABC Entertainment Network.^[6] By 1992, the format had shifted to middle of the road (MOR);^[7] by 1995, it was a blend of MOR, adult contemporary, and oldies.^[8] In later years, KTNY had a soft oldies format,^[9] which the station called "Smooth Oldies Soft Gold".^[10]

KTNY and KLCB were closed by Lincoln County Broadcasters on January 1, 2025; their licenses were returned to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).^[9] The licenses were subsequently reinstated, with Lincoln County Broadcasters instead requesting silent authority that February.^[11] In July 2025, Lincoln County Broadcasters agreed to sell KTNY to Hi-Line Radio Fellowship, operator of Your Network of Praise for $30,000, while KLCB was concurrently sold to Northwest Capital Corporation (whose principal, Roger Lonnquist, runs Hi-Line Radio Fellowship) for $10,000.^[12][13]
