The station is currently owned by Ad Astra Per Aspera Broadcasting, Inc.[3] The KSKU call letters have been moved to 5 different frequencies across the FM band in central Kansas since 1985.
On September 2, 2011, around 2:20 AM, a fire destroyed the studios of Ad Astra Per Aspera Broadcasting, which included KSKU, as well as KWHK, KNZS, and KXKU.
Rather than rebuilding after the fire, Ad Astra per Aspera Broadcasting permanently relocated to a preexisting building.
Other hosts who launched successful radio careers at KSKU include Dan Holiday (who owns and operates the weather forecasting company The Storm Report) and Stephanie Linn, who also hosted the Goodnight Line and went on to be a popular DJ in Manhattan, Kansas, and Topeka, Kansas.
Shank’s ability to manage his staff and to take jokes (as long as they were respectful) in good fun is one of the reasons so many talented DJ’s were able to thrive at KSKU.
