KYUS-FM (92.3 MHz, "92.3 KYUS FM") is a radio station licensed to serve Miles City, Montana. The station is owned by P&A Media LLC. It airs an adult hits music format.[1]

History

KMCM-FM

The station began broadcasting November 30, 1984, and originally held the call sign KMCM-FM.[2] It was owned by William J. O'Brien.[2][3] In 1986, the station was sold to Austin J. Baillon, along with AM 1050 KCCA, for $300,000.[3] KMCM-FM aired an adult contemporary format.[4][5][6] In 1997, the station was sold to Senger Broadcasting, along with AM 1050 KMTA, for $594,000.[7]

KKRY

In October 1997, the station adopted a country music format and its call sign was changed to KKRY.[6][8] The station was branded "Hot Country 92.5" (and later "Hot Country 92.3").[9][10] In 2005, the station's frequency was changed from 92.5 MHz to 92.3 MHz.[11][12] In 2006, KKRY was sold to Stephen Marks's Custer County Community Broadcasting Corporation, along with AM 1050 KMTA, for $540,000. Marks already owned KYUS-TV (channel 3) in Miles City; as the television station was a satellite of KULR-TV in Billings, it did not count against the Federal Communications Commission's cross-ownership rules.[10]

KYUS-FM

The station's call sign was changed to KYUS-FM on January 26, 2007.[8] The station adopted an adult hits format.[13] Following Stephen Marks's death in 2022,[14] his Montana and North Dakota stations—including KYUS-FM and KMTA—were sold to Andrew Sturlaugson's P&A Media for $850,000 in 2024.[15] The sale separated the radio stations from KYUS-TV, which the Marks estate retained.[16]
