South Dakota’s newest commercial FM, the one just signed on at 93.5 by the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe, will host an open house this week. KIPI Eagle Butte is licensed as a Class C1 FM radio with 100,000 watts at 203 meters (666 feet) of height above average terrain. KIPI “provides the first strong signal to the Cheyenne River Reservation” according to media tracking site Northpine.

The radio station will provide relevant general information, news, weather, and a variety of music while promoting a greater cultural understanding through educational programming for the Cheyenne River Reservation and general listening population.
