History
KAYL signed on November 14, 1948.[1] It was owned by Cornbelt Broadcasting Company with the original shareholders of Oscar Grau, Joe Kevane, Paul Dlugosh, Dr. R.E. Malliard and Z.Z. White, operating on a daytime-only basis with 250 watts.[2]
990 kHz is a clear-channel frequency assigned to CBW in Winnipeg, Canada, which resulted in KAYL being licensed as a daytime-only broadcaster to avoid interference. KAYL received its continuous power broadcast license in September 1992, enabling the station to remain on the air 24 hours a day with reduced power between sunset and sunrise.
The broadcast tower, located east of Storm Lake, collapsed on August 8, 1969, during a severe storm.[3] The station was back on the air with a temporary antenna within about six hours.
In November 1997, KBVU-FM at Buena Vista University started broadcasting from the KAYL tower.
