The Buzz FM Story

Celebrating over 50 Years

The day was August

22, 1974. The time was 1:30 p.m. Black Hills State College student Roger O’Dea reached down, flipped a switch on a control panel and spoke into a microphone, “You’re listening to KBHU radio, Spearfish, S.D., 89.1 on your FM dial.” KBHU-FM was on the air!

From the basement of the library, 10 watts of power was sent through the radio tower on the roof to listeners within a five-mile radius. KBHU began streaming its signal online in December 2000.

On April 10, 2009, at 2:00 p.m., KJKT-FM joined KBHU-FM broadcasting the Black Hills’ best alternative music. KJKT increased The Buzz’s broadcast range to nearly 150 miles, reaching most of Western South Dakota, Eastern Wyoming and part of Montana. KBHU and KJKT offer training for students in the field of broadcast operations provide entertainment to the campus and community and act as a news service. KBHU and KJKT are affiliated with the Intercollegiate Broadcasting System and College Broadcasters Incorporated.
