==History==
The first FM station in the Salina market, KSKG went on the air in 1961 using the call letters KAFM ('''K'''eeping '''A'''live '''F'''ine '''M'''usic). The original owner was Wayne Pollard dba Salina F-M, Inc. Pollard built the first studios on the top floor of the United Building in downtown Salina and would broadcast a full service format with 3.6 KW of power.  The station became KSKG in 1970 and switched to a Top 40 format. During this time, the station adopted the nickname "99KG".<ref>{{cite web |url=http://kcradio.tripod.com/999sal.html |title=Kansas Radio History |work=KC Radio History |access-date=2015-03-11}}</ref>
On August 26, 1996, at 6 a.m., KSKG switched to a country format and was re-branded "Eagle Country 99.9". The first song under the country format was "[[Sweet Country Music]]" by [[Atlanta (band)|Atlanta]].<ref>Gordon D.
