One of Wyoming’s first radio stations, KOVE signed on in 1948, and we are just now starting our 70th year of service to Lander and Fremont County. It was a really big deal back in 1948 when the governor Lester Hunt came to Lander to “officially” turn the radio station on. Lander’s airport “Hunt Field” was named so in his honor and Governor Hunt has been the only governor ever elected from Lander
Edward J. Breece, who also owned the Lander Journal newspaper at the time, started KOVE radio station. Mr. Breece served several terms in the Wyoming House of Representatives. His son, Dan Breece, operated the station until 1973 when Joe and Andrea Kenney became partners with him. In 1975 the company signed on the first FM radio station in Fremont County, KDLY. And, in 2000, Joe and Andrea Kenney bought Dan out and they have operated the stations ever since.
KDLY is Classic Rock Hits and features Glenn & Maralyne at the helm of Fremont County’s most popular Morning Show from 6:00 am to 8:00 am weekdays. KDLY is Fremont County’s “Listen at Work” radio station and Glenn Lemons keeps everyone listening through their lunch hour and especially on Fridays from Noon to 1:00 with the “Rock ‘n Roll Noon Hour” and 5:00 pm “Rock ‘n Roll Rewind.”
Lander is know for it's stellar 4th of July Parade and every year the parade is broadcast live on KOVE radio. 2017 marked the very first year that listeners all around the globe could listen to Joe & Andrea's vivid narration from near of far with just a computer, phone or other mobile device.
KOVE is a Fox News affiliate and has been since the first day Fox News Radio signed on. In addition to Fox News we also Feature Fox Business Reports several times a day and social commentary from conservative correspondent Todd Starnes three times a day, also from the Fox News Network.
KOVE broadcasts Lander Tiger Football, Tiger Boys and Girls Basketball, Wyoming Cowboys football, Men’s and Women’s basketball, and the Denver Broncos. 2017 marked the first year that grandparents wintering in Florida could listen in to the Tiger Football games via the live streaming.
