[1] The station's license was held by Park County School District Number 6, and it operated on 90.1 MHz from 1976 to 1996.
[7] In 1976, the station planned on organizing a 77-hour radio marathon in late December to help the students gain work experience.
However, the marathon took on a life of its own when Rob Russell, a football player who had been key in leading Cody to a state football title that fall and a member of the radio class, came down with a staph infection and was flown to the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota.
[10] The 84-hour 1984 edition raised $3,417 for an 8-year-old Cody boy who had been accidentally shot months prior and sent messages to Marines stationed in Lebanon; their efforts earned them a thank-you letter from President Ronald Reagan.
[9] In 1996, however, KYDZ's broadcast time on air would come to an end when the school district could not afford to hire a faculty advisor to run the radio program.
