The station signed on in October 1975, and claims to be the second oldest Native American-owned public radio station in the United States. It airs mostly country music, and local talent during the day, supplemented by NPR news updates and All Things Considered. While in the Evening they play the high school plays with a mix of pop and contemporary rock, at 9 pm they switch to classic rock on a show called the night owls nest.
