KEVA (1240 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting in Evanston, Wyoming. KEVA had been on the air in southwestern Wyoming since 1953, and was one of the area's oldest radio stations. It offered classic country, local programming throughout the day as well, including news, classifieds, and weather. The station broadcast in C-QUAM AM stereo.[4]
History
[edit | edit source]The station signed on the air on June 16, 1953, as KLUK. It was a daytime only station, initially only licensed for 250 watts. This was the limit at the time for local signals by the FCC. The station wouldn't become 1,000 watts until 1961.[5]
KEVA's tower and studio were located on Airport Road just outside town. KEVA's former sister station was KOTB, on 106.1 MHz. It was also a sister station to KNYN, which was sold to another owner.[6]
KEVA ceased broadcasting July 2, 2014, due to failure of their transmitter. Attempts to repair it were unsuccessful. Attempts to find a new owner and money for a new transmitter were also unsuccessful. It was taken off the air. KEVA's license was canceled on May 3, 2017, for failure to pay debts it owed to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC).[7][8]
