History

The FCC officially assigned the call sign KSIK-LP to the station on November 7, 2014. The license to cover was formally granted on September 9, 2016. The station aired a Regional Mexican format known as "La Guapa Radio".^[4]

As an NCE station, KSIK-LP is governed by strict underwriting rules that prohibit it from airing commercials, a restriction often enforced by the FCC, as demonstrated by a $15,000 fine levied against a nearby Greeley LPFM station for airing thousands of spots.^[5] The FCC upholds strong enforcement of these restrictions to preserve the unique, commercial-free nature of low-power FM service.^[6][7] In 2024, the station's former programming, which included a Regional Mexican show titled "El Show Del Chito Pikiny La Donia Cuca", was absorbed by a new commercial station in the Fort Collins market, KYAP, licensed to Nunn.^[8]
