Sunny Radio is a radio station in Sioux Falls, South Dakota with the Call Letters KZOY. It broadcasts an 1980s format and was the first ever radio station besides satellite to do so. It is currently the third most popular radio station in the Sioux Falls metropolitan area. On December 26, 2014, it was announced that the radio stations will be acquired by Chuck Brennan and be made part of the Badlands Radio Network, a 24-hour rock-format radio station based in Brennan's proposed pawn shop. ==History and present state== Sunny Radio was formed by a local couple, John and Heidi Small. John had previous radio experience and always dreamed of owning his own station. In the summer of 2009, the couple built the Sioux Empire's only locally owned radio station, as the others are all owned by companies. They decided on an 1980s format since the music is fun to dance to, which goes with their 'sunny' theme, and also to cater to the older audience who were previously left with no choice but to listen to modern music because there was little variety. They went with the slogan "Sunny Radio, where it's ALWAYS in the 80's!" 〔http://www.brandoninfo.com/article/20100226/NEWS/100225002/1001〕 Although it is mainly a Sioux Empire station, a great deal of talk revolves around Brandon, the community the Smalls live in.〔http://blogs.argusleadermedia.com/bi/uncategorized/sunny-radio.html〕 In 2010, they purchased an old AM station from Backyard Broadcasting, since they did not use AM 1520. AM 1520 launched on May 15, 2010, FM 92.1 launched September 1, 2010, however, the station also broadcasts online at its website. The station is now working on adding a second channel in Sioux City, Iowa, as they not only would like to expand, but because their tower doesn't reach very far. The small radio station is growing rapidly with many national programs from the 1980s on the weekends like Casey Kasem's 80's show, The Amazing 80's with MG Kelly and Rick Dees Weekly Top 40. During the week, the radio shows are all local, these include: The Breakfast Club with John and Heidi, Maddy Jones Until Midnight, Sunny Side Up with Joshua Wayne, Stuck in the 80's with Steve Stuck and "The Night Ride" with KITT runs overnight. The Announcers take requests at 605-582-1980. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sunny Radio」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
