KINY is a Full Service formatted broadcast radio station licensed to Juneau, Alaska, serving Alaska Panhandle. KINY is owned and operated by Alaska Broadcast Communications.
History[]
KINY began broadcasting on May 31, 1935, at 7:30 PM.[1] It was located in the Goldstein Building until 1939, when the building was destroyed by fire on February 8, 1939.[2] The Decker Building in downtown Juneau then served as KINY's headquarters for decades. The station moved into the building on October 28, 1940.[3] The Decker Building burned down in June 1984.[4]
KINY and its sister station KSUP were bought by Alaska Broadcast Communications in June 2008.[5][6]
The callsign letters have no backstory, as KINY was just a government-issued designation.[7]
