History

[edit]

KNEO began broadcasting in October 1986 and originally broadcast at 91.5 MHz, and operated only 12 hours a day, broadcasting with 380 watts, from a 70-foot tower.[1][2] The station began full-time operations the following year.[1] In November 1994, KNEO's frequency was changed to 91.7 MHz and began broadcasting with 2,760 watts of power, at its current tower's location.[1] In 2002, following the technical failure of some of its equipment, KNEO's power was increased to 4,600 watts.[1] In 2008, the station's power was increased to the currently licensed ERP of 14,000 watts.[1][6] In 2023, the station built a freestanding tower to replace its 2nd tower (the 1st 340 foot tower).[7] A documentary film was produced that detailed the new tower's construction.[8]
