KHKY is a Variety formatted broadcast radio station licensed to and serving Akiachak, Alaska.[1] KHKY is owned and operated by Yupiit School District.[2]
First launch
The Yupiit School District was granted a construction permit by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on August 22, 2007, to begin building the station that would become KHKY.[3] The new station was given the KHKY callsign eight days later on August 30.[4] KHKY began broadcasting for the first time on October 11, 2007.[5][6]
The school district failed to file for a renewal of their license by the October 1, 2013 deadline.[7] The station's license was cancelled on February 1, 2014, after the district failed to file for a renewal.[7] The KHKY callsign was deleted the same day.[4]
Members of the Ahiachak School wrote to the FCC on November 28, 2014, asking them to reconsider the cancellation of the station's license.[8] The authors of the letter blamed the school's former principal for being "uninvolved with the radio station" and "neglect[ing] to renew the license in a timely manner".[8] Alaska State Representative Bryce Edgmon (D, 37th)[9] also wrote the FCC asking the commission to reconsider its decision.[10]
The school district filed a formal Petition for Reconsideration on December 5, 2014.[11][12]
Second launch
The school district began the process to bring KHKY back on the air on March 23, 2015, by reapplying for a construction permit.[13] The new station would use the previously built tower to return to the air.[13]
The station was reissued the KHKY callsign on April 3, 2015.[14] Three days later, the station returned to the airwaves.[15][16] The station's Petition for Reconsideration was dismissed as moot the same day.[17][18]
