Company Profile

Company Description:

Sioux Falls is one of the fastest growing cities in the Upper Midwest and is home to more than 178,000 people. Healthcare and finance make up much of the workforce in Sioux Falls. There is never a shortage of things to do here. Summers are packed with outdoor festivals and concert events. Many also enjoy the city’s nearly 30 miles of bike trails; be sure to stop by the beautiful waterfalls of the Big Sioux River! And winter doesn’t mean people hibernate; there are plenty outdoor and indoor activities all winter long. In 2014, the city built a 12,000 seat area that has hosted everything from PBR events, hockey and indoor football, to concerts with names like Paul McCartney, Carrie Underwood and Elton John. The city is also home to a new indoor aquatic center, indoor ice skating facility, basketball arena, and an indoor tennis complex. There is no shortage of places to eat either. Not only is Sioux Falls home to many familiar restaurant chains, it’s known for many locally-owned restaurants. And if you want to get away for the weekend, you can drive to Omaha in three hours, Minneapolis in four and the Black Hills in five.

KSFY is an award-winning station serving viewers in the eastern half of South Dakota as well as portions of southwest Minnesota and northwest Iowa. In the fall of 2016, KSFY moved into its new studio offices in downtown Sioux Falls. The new facilities put KSFY on the cutting edge of television and news gathering technology, making it the most state-of-the-art television station in the market and the region. In 2015, our newsroom won the Upper Midwest Regional Emmy award for Breaking News coverage, beating three stations in the Twin Cities for the award. In 2017, the newsroom was recognized again with a regional Edward R. Murrow award for Breaking News Coverage. The KSFY newsroom staff is a close-knit team. Some of our employees have been here for more than 25 years. For others, this is their first job out of college. It’s a great mix that gives us different perspectives while covering the news. People here enjoy the work they do, and everyone steps up to the plate during major news events like breaking news and severe weather.
