94 Years Of Wyoming’s First Radio Station

On January 2, 1930, the first radio station in the Cowboy State began broadcasting.

94 years later, it's still on the air and going strong.

The station has kept up with the times, offering video, websites, online streaming, and podcasting.

KDFN originally signed on at 1470 kHz on the AM dial in Casper, Wyoming.

Years later, the call letters were changed to KTWO, which remained on the frequency until 1967, when it moved down the dial to 1030 AM.

In 1957, former owners Harriscope Broadcasting launched Wyoming's second television station, KTWO-TV. Although they still share the same call letters, the radio and television stations have had separate owners for several decades.

Today the station is owned by Townsquare Media, who also owns a long list of stations in Casper, Cheyenne, and Laramie.

KTWO also has one of the most powerful signals in the Cowboy State. During daylight hours. The 50,000-watt tower covers most of the state.

At night it reaches most of the western United States and was once heard in Japan.

K2 Radio is one of several stations that carries Wake Up Wyoming, a statewide morning talk show hosted by Glenn Woods.

But broadcast is more than just radio in today's modern world and Townsquare Media has kept up with the changes.

There was a time when listening to the radio meant sitting by a radio or being in your car or truck.

Today you can listen from anywhere you want anytime you want.

Wake Up Wyoming listeners can chat with the host during the show by texting him  from the Wake Up Wyoming App.

Listeners send thoughts, pictures, memes, and links to articles they want the host to see.

That's just the start.

There is so much more listeners are doing with that app.

Below is a list of features that listeners to the radio show are using through the Wake Up Wyoming App.

Wake Up Wyoming is a radio talk show heard on great stations like KGAB, Cheyenne, K2, AM & FM in Casper, and KOWB in Laramie.
