the station's transmitter site and continued broadcasting. Eventually, the station recovered when a new building was constructed on Highway 50 in Yankton. Saga Communications purchased WNAX, as well as sister station WNAX-FM, from Park Communications for $7 million in 1996. Programming from One on One Sports was added to WNAX's full service format in January 1997. In 2002, Saga dropped the limited country music played during WNAX's daytime news and farm information programming, and replaced evening carriage of Sporting News Radio (the former One on One Sports) with syndicated talk shows. Today WNAX continues many of the traditions started in 1922 with frequent news, sports, weather and farm market updates. The station continues to be affiliated with CBS News Radio, an association that began in the late 1920s. WNAX is the flagship for South Dakota State University sports. WNAX also carries Minnesota Twins baseball and Minnesota Vikings football. Honors and awards In May 2006, WNAX won one first place in the commercial radio division of the South Dakota Associated Press Broadcasters Association news contest.
