[edit] History

KSYC-FM was started by Siskiyou Radio Partners, Inc., in 1995 as a way of moving country music over to the FM band to make way for the fast-growing news/talk format on the AM station. It quickly replaced rival KWHO-FM as Siskiyou County's only country station when that station was sold to Huth Broadcasting in 1997 and format changed. KSYC-FM was sold to Four Rivers Broadcasting in 2000, as was KSYC-AM, KMJC-AM and KMJC-FM and later KWHO (from Huth Broadcasting) in 2001. The station's general manager is John Anthony. Local news is featured hourly in the mornings with news director (KNTK-FM program director) Rick Martin anchoring and longtime news veteran Corky Small in the afternoons.

[edit] Local Sports

KSYC is the flagship station for Yreka High School football and basketball with 25-year veteran announcer Mark McAllister on the play-by-play and Al Reichenbach on the color commentary.
