Nebraska AM Station Goes Silent after 62 Years

Posted on January 3, 2026January 3, 2026 by Jon Ellis

Connoisseur Media Classic Country outlet KTTT/1510 (Columbus) went silent at the end of 2025.

The station has requested special temporary authority to remain silent, stating the move comes “while considering future operational plans for the station.” Federal law states KTTT can remain off the air for up to a year before its license is canceled.

KTTT had been operated as part of a cluster that continues to include one AM station and three FM stations.

FCC records show The City and Farm Broadcasting Inc. signed on KTTT in 1963.

The station always operated with 500 Watts non-directional, daytime only, with pre-sunrise authority of 53 Watts beginning in the late 1960s. (Pre-sunrise authority allows a daytime-only station to sign on at 6 a.m. when sunrise is later than that time.)

With help from Nebraska’s strong ground conductivity, KTTT’s fringe daytime signal extended from Lincoln to Norfolk.

It did not have an FM translator.

KTTT is the latest in a continuing series of AM stations to go off the air nationally, which also included Connoisseur’s KLMS/1480 (Lincoln). Some have returned their licenses while others are waiting out the year-long window to make a final decision.
