KPRK (1340 AM, "Classic Hits AM1340") is a radio station licensed to serve Livingston, Montana. The station is owned by GapWest Broadcasting and the broadcast license is held by Gap Broadcasting Bozeman License, LLC.[1] KPRK airs a classic hits music format.[2]

The station was assigned the KPRK call letters by the Federal Communications Commission.[3]

Ownership

In February 2008, Colorado-based GAPWEST Broadcasting completed the acquisition of 57 radio stations in 13 markets in the Pacific Northwest-Rocky Mountain region from Clear Channel Communications.[1] The deal, valued at a reported $74 million, included six Bozeman stations, seven in Missoula and five in Billings. Other stations in the deal are located in Shelby, Montana, and in Casper and Cheyenne, Wyoming, plus Pocatello and Twin Falls, Idaho, and Yakima, Washington.

Historic building

The KPRK radio building in Livingston is on the National Register of Historic Places. To the right of the front door, a plaque says that Missoula architect William Fox designed the building, complete with the "stylized radio tower" above the front door, in 1946.
