KSKY 106.9 Named ‘Montana’s Station of the Year’
KSKY 106.9 has once again cemented its place as one of Montana’s premier radio stations, earning the prestigious honor of being named *Montana’s Station of the Year*. The recognition highlights not only the station’s commitment to delivering outstanding programming, but also its deep dedication to serving the Gallatin Valley and the broader Montana community.
For listeners across southwest Montana, KSKY is more than just a frequency on the dial—it’s a trusted voice, a familiar companion, and a hub for local stories, music, and events. Being named Station of the Year is the highest award a station in the state can receive, and it reflects the tireless efforts of KSKY’s team, both on-air and behind the scenes.
The recognition comes on the heels of an impressive run of accolades for the station and its personalities. Morning show duo Dave & Ally, who have become household names across the Bozeman area, were previously awarded Montana Broadcasters of the Year and have also been finalists for that award the past two years. Their show, which blends humor, music, and heartfelt conversations, has also been recognized as Show of the Year—a testament to their natural chemistry and the genuine bond they’ve built with their listeners.
Beyond statewide honors, KSKY has been repeatedly celebrated at the local level. Since 2022, the station has won the *Best of Bozeman* Award for Best Radio Station, a clear reflection of its connection to its community. And since 2017, KSKY’s on-air personalities have consistently been voted *Best Radio DJs* by listeners who appreciate their authenticity, energy, and passion for radio.
Dave & Ally themselves have an unmatched streak of community recognition. For eight consecutive years, beginning in 2017, their morning show has been named *Bozeman’s Best Radio Show* in the annual Bozeman’s Choice Awards. That kind of consistency underscores the deep trust and loyalty they’ve built with their audience—a rare feat in today’s rapidly changing media landscape.
What sets KSKY apart is not only its professional excellence but also its dedication to Montana values. From spotlighting local businesses and nonprofits, to providing up-to-the-minute weather and road reports, to being present at community events large and small, KSKY’s team has made service a cornerstone of its identity. The station’s motto—celebrating life in Montana with great music and great company—rings true in every broadcast.
For listeners, the award is simply confirmation of what they already know: KSKY 106.9 is a station built for Montana, by Montanans. Winning Montana’s Station of the Year is both a celebration of past achievements and a springboard into an even brighter future for the station and its loyal audience.
With a track record of excellence, a roster of award-winning personalities, and a community-first spirit, KSKY 106.9 continues to prove why it stands at the very heart of Montana radio.
