KKSD (104.3 FM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic hits format. Licensed to Milbank, South Dakota, United States, the station serves the Watertown area. The station is owned and operated by Connoisseur Media.

History

[edit]

The station was assigned the call sign KMSD-FM on September 20, 1989. On April 15, 1991, the station changed its call sign to KPHR; on May 15, 1998, it became KKSD.[2]

KKSD ran a classic rock format as "104.3 The Fox" for many years, and flipped to its "Hippie Radio 104.3" classic hits format on January 1, 2013.[3] The Hippie Radio branding was dropped in June 2018.

KKSD was owned and operated by Alpha Media after it purchased the stations of Digity, LLC, in 2015.[4] Alpha Media merged with Connoisseur Media on September 4, 2025.[5]
