KYUK (AM) claims to have been the first Native-owned and operated radio station in the United States when it first went on the air in 1971.
A construction permit for a 1000-watt FMrebroadcaster of KYUK (AM) on 91.1MHz at Marshall, Alaska was issued by the FCC on 27 December 2007. In addition, a new sister station, 90.3 KYUK-FM, with music-only programming, went on the air in Bethel in December 2009.
