[9] The construction permit for the station was issued by the Federal Communications Commission to the Coast Fork Broadcasting Company in 1952.

[10] The construction permit originally bore the call letters KCTG, but they were changed to KSGA before going on air on July 26, 1953.

[11] The station was authorized to broadcast with 250 watts of power on a frequency of 1400 kHz and under the leadership of company president W. Gordon Allen.

[16] In 1962, Ryan changed the name of the company to Radio Station KNND, Inc., to match the new call letters.
