KDJY
radio station in Douglas, Wyoming
KDJY (88.7 FM) is a noncommercial radio station licensed to Douglas, Wyoming, United States. The station is owned by Hi-Line Radio Fellowship and airs a Christian format as an affiliate of Your Network of Praise.
History
In 2008, the Federal Communications Commission granted Wren Communications a construction permit for a station on 88.7 MHz in Douglas. KKWY went on the air in 2011 and then went silent in October, citing the unreliability of its internet programming feed. After emerging in June 2012, the main transmitter failed that August, leaving the station dark again for 11 months. In July 2013, the station returned to the air as KKAW.
In January 2014, KKAW asked to go silent yet again for another main transmitter failure. While silent, the station reverted to the KKWY call letters in February. Wren sold the station to Cedar Cove for $2,000. KKWY returned to the air in January 2015 and became KRKY-FM in December, the fourth station in 2015 alone to hold the call letters (the other three are now KVXO and the defunct KKHG and KKWY (Colorado)). After at first reducing KRKY-FM's power to 850 watts, in 2019, Michael raised it to 23,000 watts on a new frequency, 88.1 MHz.

Why this record matters
The phrase “radio station in Douglas, Wyoming” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Apr 4, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q65042406. Authority coordinates are 42.858, -105.234. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2008, 2011, 2012 and 2013.
Architectural summaries often privilege surviving fabric and can understate demolished phases, contested use or displaced communities. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
