History
The station signed on in 2000 as KVAM (changing its call letters to KRKI later that year) with a rhythmic format as Hip Hop Radio serving Newcastle, Wyoming. In 2007, the station upgraded to 100,000 watts and moved to Rapid City, South Dakota, with a format flip to the Real Country satellite network as US 99.5. On January 5, 2009, KRKI switched to a 24-hour simulcast of ESPN Radio becoming the first full-time sports talk station in the Rapid City market.[3]
On April 1, 2012, KRKI changed affiliations from ESPN Radio to Fox Sports Radio, while KTOQ switched to ESPN Radio the same day.[4]
On October 8, 2012, it branded itself "99-5 The Range" and adopted the Classic Country format.[5]
On November 29, 2012, KRKI's city of license was changed from Newcastle, Wyoming to Keystone, South Dakota.
As of February 17, 2017 KRKI updated its music format and rebranded as "True Country 99.5" adopting a Country format featuring top-10 Country hits from 1988 to 2012.
On April 14, 2017, KRKI added KXZT 107.9 as a simulcast. KXZT's transmitter is located on top of Terry Peak to allow True Country 99.5/107.9 to broadcast the same signal north of Belle Fourche to down south of Chadron, Nebraska as well as all of northeastern Wyoming making it the largest FM signal in the Rapid City/Black Hills area.
