KSYC (1490 AM, "Radio 1490") is a Jefferson Public Radio affiliate radio station based in Yreka, California.
[edit] History
The station was founded in the 1940s and signed on the air as a country music station, which had been Yreka's radio staple for many years. Its format slowly evolved to one of MOR (middle of the road) with Polkas being heard regularly in the mid 1960s through early 1970s.
It was later sold to Gary Hawk from Los Angeles, CA area dba Dalmatian Enterprises, Inc. in 1974. Gary sometime later added the FM station.
KSYC was one of the stations sold to Siskiyou Radio Partners, Inc. in 1995, owned by Tom Huth and Bob Darling. The call letters remained the same, but the format was moved over to the FM band at 103.9, now known as "The Country Station". The station was then sold to Four Rivers Broadcasting, who also purchased KMJC-AM, KMJC-FM, KSYC-FM and then KWHO-FM in 2001.
Two years later, Jefferson Public Radio acquired both KMJC-AM and KSYC-AM from Four Rivers.
