KSST is thanking everyone that participated in the 2015 News Telegram Tele-Grammys. And a special thanks to the folks who voted for KSST. KSST was voted the ”Best Radio Station” in Hopkins County. 2015 is the first year for a “best of radio” for the Tele-Grammys. Thus, another first for KSST, the first radio station for Sulphur Springs and Hopkins County. 
“Although we focus on Hopkins County and Sulphur Springs, faithful listeners are found in the surrounding counties,” according to Jim Rogers, KSST General Manager. “The diversity of our programming is designed to communicate to the desires and needs of our listeners as well as offer a perfect platform for our advertisers to present their services and goods to a larger comsumer base. We are challenged by the vote to continue to offer the best in radio, as well as local television, and website news, weather, and sports to our area,” stated Rogers.
KSST Radio and Television was once located upstairs in a building on the West side of the Square. There is a historical plaque placed where the stairs lead up to the old location. The station moved to a location on Radio Road, now known as Bill Bradford Road, before moving to the current location on Shannon Road. KSST is known for their Good Time Oldies Rock, a blend of 50’s, 60’s, and 70’s music. KSST Radio was once owned by the Bradford family and is now currently owned by Chad and Rhonda Young. KSST also has a website known as ksstradio.com which was organized in 2014. And offers local television programming on Suddenlink Cable Channel 18.
