KYND (1520 AM) is a commercial terrestrial radio station, licensed to the unincorporated Harris County community of Cypress, serving the Houston, Texas metropolitan area as a Class D daytime only operating facility. KYND is owned by Pro Broadcasting, Inc.; Bill Turner serves as KYND's General Manager.
History
1520 KYND has been brokered for most of its existence. It was briefly programmed with a classic hits music format after China Radio International (CRI) concluded its contractual lease agreement with Pro Broadcasting in December 2015.
The station was leased in May 2016, by Synergy Broadcasting, who returned the longtime Urban Oldies and Talk programming that had previously aired on the legendary 1430 KCOH radio until 2013, on the reincarnated KCOH on 1230 until 2015, and later on KJOZ until 2016.
On December 22, 2016, Class D translator K260CH Dilley received a license to cover, rebroadcasting KYND programming. The owner of the licensed translator claims to be broadcasting KYND from it's location in Dilley, Texas, something ownership of KYND had no prior knowledge of until it was licensed. The owner of the translator had attempted to move the station to Cypress, Texas but permission was declined by the FCC.
On September 11, 2017, KYND lost regular leased programming it had contracted with Synergy Broadcasting, when Synergy moved to KLVL in Pasadena. KYND is now running an advertisement, voiced by the station's General Manager, giving information out concerning leasing availability of the station.
KYND operates on the same frequency with legacy "clear channel" station KOKC-AM in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, which limits KYND to broadcast during daytime hours only. AM stations (which were not Class A) on clear-channel frequencies were sometimes licensed for daytime hours only prior to 1987.[1]
