KNND
KNND (1400 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Cottage Grove, Oregon, United States. The station, which began broadcasting in 1953, is currently owned by Cameron Reiten, through licensee Reiten Communications, LLC.
Since January 1, 2014, KNND has broadcast a classic country music format. From October 2007 to January 2014, KNND had broadcast an oldies music format that relied on The True Oldies Channel hosted by Scott Shannon and distributed by Citadel Media. KNND also airs a local morning show, specialty block programming, community talk programming, and select sporting events of local interest.
Specialty weekday programming on KNND includes a Monday mid-day bluegrass music block called Into the Blue with Terry Herd, a Thursday mid-day classic country music program known as The Round-Up Classic Country and Western Hoe-Down, a Friday evening classic rock block called Dig It. Weekend specialty programming includes a Saturday-morning one-hour program for horse enthusiasts called The Horse Show, a two-hour Saturday-morning "Polka Party" hosted by John Klobas, three hours of cowboy poetry and western music each Sunday afternoon on The Cowboy Culture Center with Dallas McCord, and a three-hour Gospel music show called Sunday Morning Light.
In addition to its music programming, KNND airs a weekday community call-in talk program called The Beeper Show, followed by an hour-long tradio program called Swap 'n' Shop. KNND also broadcasts high school football games and select other sporting events featuring the Cottage Grove High School Lions as a member of the Table Rock Sports Network. KNND is also a member of the Oregon State University Beavers football radio network.
The construction permit for the station was issued by the Federal Communications Commission to the Coast Fork Broadcasting Company in 1952. The construction permit originally bore the call letters KCTG, but they were changed to KSGA before going on air on July 26, 1953. The station was authorized to broadcast with 250 watts of power on a frequency of 1400 kHz and under the leadership of company president W. Gordon Allen. (It was the second station Allen had started in less than a year with those call letters; he had sold the first, in Redmond, in March 1953 and had the KSGA call letters transferred to what was KCTG.)
Coast Fork Broadcasting was sold to Orlo M. and Thelma Bagley in a deal that was consummated on June 1, 1954. The new owners had the FCC change the call sign again, this time to KOMB.
The Bagleys changed the name of the license holding company to Radio Station KOMB, Inc., in 1956, and Milton Viken joined the staff as the station's chief engineer. In 1959, the owners applied for a new call sign and the station was assigned KNND by the FCC on August 26, 1960.
The company, which still retained the Radio Station KOMB, Inc. name, was sold to Peter Ryan in 1960. In 1962, Ryan changed the name of the company to Radio Station KNND, Inc., to match the new call letters. That same year, the FCC issued the station a new construction permit to upgrade its daytime signal to 1,000 watts while broadcasting with 250 watts of power at night. KNND would begin broadcasting at the newly authorized power levels in 1963.
