About 93.7 The Ticket:
93.7 The Ticket (KNTK-FM) is Lincoln's only strictly FM sports talk radio station--and we are independently owned. With nine (9) hours a day of local sports talk each weekday, we have the most local content in Lincoln for our sports-crazed city. 93.7 The Ticket started in 2011, as station owner Ron Romero and a few others decided that Lincoln needed more local sports talk. At the time, the only sports talk in Lincoln did not start until 2pm each day, and there was too much being missed by starting that late. A vision became reality, and we have had several changes through the years, but are excited to be entering our 10th year in operation in 2021!
