About FM 99 The Mountain

2014 Marks the 20th anniversary of the first broadcast of FM 99 the Mountain by the Oliphants. Brothers Brent and Jeff Oliphant grew up in the radio family in Dillon, Montana. In 1986 they owned KDZN in Glendive & started putting together their dream in the Beartooths. Silver Rock was incorporated in 1989 and the plan was put into place.

 

Proud of the family owned and operated radio station where the owners not only live but work daily at the radio station. Brent is up early putting together the AM show elements and also takes care of all the stations computers and some of the engineering.

 

Jeff is the general sales manager and is in charge of the musical sound of the station as well. Brent's wife Teresa works on air & is the station's office administrator.
