Black Hills Gold Hits-KDSJ 980 AM/103.5 FM in the Northern Hills is a radio station offering a full service format of music, news, weather and sports. Licensed to Deadwood, South Dakota, the station serves the Northern Black Hills area (about 45,000 people). The station’s music mix includes tunes from the 1960s and the 1970s (with a few 1950s and 1980s hits mixed in here and there).
KDSJ was first owned by Eli and Harry Daniels, who started the station in 1947. Al and Jeanne Decker (Goldrush Broadcasting, Inc) took over in July of 1982.
