[4] In February 1951, the Federal Communications Commission authorized its sale to Charles L. Scofield and James Caravaras for $100 and the assumption of more than $8,000 in station liabilities.
[1] The station established a second studio in Crosby, 70 miles (110 km) away, and it bought an aircraft to help it serve clients in its 100-mile trading radius.
[8] In addition to sales calls, KEYZ's plane was put to use for news coverage, farm programming, promotional events, executive travel, and even search and rescue efforts.
[9] In 1985, after a five-year hearing, Basin Broadcasters, owned by former KGCX general manager Duane Simpson, obtained the construction permit for a new station at 660 kHz in Williston, beating out KEYZ on diversification and integration criteria.
[11] The permit was granted despite a petition to deny by the clear channel station on 660 being broken down: WNBC in New York, which claimed the new facility would cause objectionable skywave interference.
[17] Effective June 17, 2022, Cherry Creek Radio sold KEYZ as part of a 42 station/21 translator package to Townsquare Media for $18.75 million.
