History
KSIG first signed on the air in 1947, becoming one of the early radio stations in the Acadiana region. For much of its early history, KSIG was a locally owned and operated station, serving the Crowley community with a blend of country, Cajun, and local programming, including news, weather, and community events. This reflected the cultural identity of its broadcast area.Over the decades, like many small-market stations, KSIG experienced various ownership changes and format adjustments to adapt to evolving listener preferences and market dynamics. In more recent years, as media consolidation became prevalent, KSIG became part of larger broadcast groups, eventually being acquired by Townsquare Media. Its programming largely transitioned from highly localized content to a more broadly appealing format, such as Classic Hits or Oldies, while retaining some local presence.
