KYCK FM 97.1

A country music radio station licensed to Crookston, Minnesota, serving the Grand Forks, North Dakota metropolitan area on 97.1 FM. The station began broadcasting in 1979 under the call sign KDWZ with a Top 40 (CHR) format. In 1981, with the arrival of a competing Top 40 outlet, the station transitioned to country music and adopted the KYCK call letters — pronounced "kick" — which it has maintained ever since. Owned by Leighton Broadcasting, KYCK competes primarily with iHeartMedia's KSNR "100 Country" in the regional market. Morning programming is anchored by The Kelly Jordan Show, broadcast weekdays from 6 to 10 a.m. The station also airs locally focused segments including deal-finding content and rapid-fire news updates. Listeners can engage via phone, text, and smart speaker integration through Amazon Alexa.
