History[edit]
The station signed on the air on September 6, 1984.[2] Its original call sign was KSUA. It aired an album rock format and was an affiliate of the NBC Source Network. The power was only 1,000 watts and the owner was Student Media, Inc. Much of its staff were students at the nearby University of Alaska Fairbanks.
In 1996, the station's call letters changed to KUWL, which was a professionally staffed station playing country music. The power increased to 3,000 watts and the owner was Borealis Broadcasting.[3] The station moved its studios to Fairbanks.
In 2006, the station flipped to its current format under new owner Rob Ingstad. Its call sign changed to KTDZ and its moniker became "Ted-FM."
