KTWO (AM)

During the day, a single tower beams the transmitter's full power to almost all of Wyoming. Under the right conditions, the station's daytime signal reaches portions of Nebraska, Colorado and South Dakota. At night, power is fed to both towers in a directional pattern that pushes the signal westward to protect clear-channel WBZ in Boston, also located on 1030. Despite being only a class B (regional) station, KTWO's nighttime signal can be heard in much of the Western United States with a good radio. KTWO has received nighttime reception reports in Southern California, and Flagstaff, Arizona, domestically. It has also been received internationally in the Netherlands and Japan. ==History==

KTWO is the oldest commercial AM radio station in Wyoming. It was first authorized, as KDFN, in the summer of 1929, and made its debut broadcast on January 2, 1930. In 1948, the station changed its call sign to KSPR. In 1957 the station's owners established a TV station, KSPR-TV, operating on channel 6, but two years later the TV station was shut down, and KSPR radio was sold to the owners of TV station KTWO-TV in Casper, after which KSPR's call sign was changed to KTWO to match its new sister station. KDFN was initially licensed to operate on 1210 kHz. KTWO and its sister KKTL both signed on translators on FM in early 2022. ==References==
