The station is owned by American General Media and broadcasts a country music format. HistoryKSMA-FMThe station was first signed on in 1960 as KSMA-FM by James M. Hagerman and John I. Groom.[1] It simulcast the full service format of its AM sister station KSMA (1240 AM), airing a mix of news, sports, and middle of the road music.[2] Stereophonic sound broadcasts began in 1970.[3] In January 1980, Hagerman and Nona M. Groom sold KSMA-AM-FM to Bayliss Broadcasting Company for $1.4 million. The company was owned by John Bayliss, who resigned from his position as president of Gannett Company's radio division to manage the Santa Maria stations.[4] The U.S. Federal Communications Commission approved the sale on May 12.[5] KSNI-FMUpon the change in ownership, Bayliss ended KSMA-FM's simulcast of KSMA after two decades and programmed it separately as a beautiful music outlet.[6] The FM station changed its call sign to KSNI-FM in August 1980.[7] The format lasted only three years as the station flipped to country music in 1983,[8] adopting the branding "Sunny Country". In August 1999, Bayliss Broadcasting sold KSNI-FM and KSMA to Fresno, California-based Mondosphere Broadcasting for $3.75 million.[9][10] The new owner took possession of the combo on September 30.[11] The decade of the 2000s saw KSNI-FM change hands further. In September 2000, Mondosphere Broadcasting Inc. sold 11 stations throughout Central California, including KSNI, plus a construction permit for a twelfth station, to Clear Channel Communications Inc. (now iHeartMedia) for $45 million.[12] In July 2007, KSNI-FM was one of 16 stations in California and Arizona which Clear Channel sold to El Dorado Broadcasters for $40 million.[13] From April 2012 to April 2016, KSNI-FM was simulcast on sister station KSLY-FM (96.1 FM) in the adjacent San Luis Obispo market. The two stations co-branded as "Sunny Country 102.5 & 96.1".[14] In early 2016, El Dorado began selling off its stations on the Central Coast. KSNI-FM and KSMA constituted the first of these divestments as, on February 26, American General Media purchased the pair for $1.5 million.[15][16] The close of the transaction in April ended the simulcast of Sunny Country on KSLY-FM, which remained with El Dorado and launched a competing country format.[17] Transmission issuesOn March 1, 1989, the transmitters for four stations in Santa Maria, including KSNI-FM, were knocked off the air due to acts of vandalism. Around 1 a.m., two males, ages 18 and 15, broke into the transmitters' circuit breakers and switched them off; the signals were restored within an hour. That same day at 9:14 p.m., the towers fell as guy wires supporting the structures had been cut. Total damage was estimated to be $100,000.[18][19] During the week of January 18, 2010, a storm in the Santa Maria area triggered a power outage that knocked KSNI-FM and several other stations off the air. The station resumed broadcasting under generator power after two hours of silence.[20] References1. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Annuals/Archive-BC-YB-IDX/60s-OCR-YB/1961-YB/1961-62-BC-YB-OCR-Page-0213.pdf |title=Directory of AM and FM Radio Stations in the U.S. |magazine=1961-1962 Broadcasting Yearbook |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |page=B-25 |date=1961 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 2. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/Archive-BC/BC-1969/1969-07-14-BC.pdf |title=Where three-dollar spots are top rate |magazine=Broadcasting |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |pages=54-58 |date=July 14, 1969 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 3. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/70-OCR/1970-04-13-BC-OCR-Page-0095.pdf |title=For the Record |magazine=Broadcasting |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |page=91 |date=April 13, 1970 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 4. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/80-OCR/1980-01-28-BC-OCR-Page-0091.pdf |title=Changing Hands |magazine=Broadcasting |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |page=91 |date=January 28, 1980 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 5. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/80-OCR/1980-06-02-BC-OCR-Page-0064.pdf |title=For the Record |magazine=Broadcasting |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |page=64 |date=June 2, 1980 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 6. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Annuals/Archive-BC-YB-IDX/80s-OCR-YB/1981-YB/1981-BC-YB-OCR-Page-0310.pdf |title=Directory of Radio Stations in the United States and Canada |magazine=Broadcasting/Cable Yearbook |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |page=C-32 |date=1981 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 7. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/80-OCR/1980-08-18-BC-OCR-Page-0067.pdf |title=For the Record |magazine=Broadcasting |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |page=86 |date=August 18, 1980 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 8. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Annuals/Archive-BC-YB-IDX/80s-OCR-YB/1984-YB/1984-BC-YB-OCR-Page-0121.pdf |title=Directory of Radio Stations in the United States and Canada |magazine=Broadcasting/Cable Yearbook |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |page=B-37 |date=1984 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 9. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Music/Archive-Billboard-Airplay-IDX/IDX/1999/BCAM-1999-09-OCR-Page-0068.pdf |last=Saxe |first=Frank |title=Station Swaps To Herald Y2K? |magazine=Billboard Country Airplay Monitor |publisher=BPI Communications Inc. |page=8 |date=September 3, 1999 |access-date=July 25, 2018 }} 10. ^{{cite magazine |url=https://www.americanradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-BC-IDX/99-OCR/BC-1999-09-06-OCR-Page-0064.pdf |title=Changing Hands |magazine=Broadcasting and Cable |publisher=R.R.
