'''KNNN-LP''' (known as '''Hella Radio 87.7 FM''') is an indie and [[alternative rock]] radio station and [[LPTV|low-power]] [[television station]] based in [[Redding, California]], broadcasting locally in [[analog TV]] on VHF channel 6.  Founded September 16, 2003 by Venture Technologies Group, LLC, it is now owned by Walker Broadcast Group LLC.  The station currently operates and markets itself as a radio station using the audio portion of NTSC channel 6 (87.75 [[MHz]]) to broadcast audio (most FM radio receivers can receive this frequency at 87.7 on the low end of the FM dial).

In 2010, it became a [[country music]] station, branded "Hank FM", after the original KNNN station (located at 99.3 FM at the time) changed formats to [[news/talk]] and its call letters to [[KWLZ|KQMS-FM]].  Hella Media Group took over station operations on January 1, 2017 through July 23 2018.  Hella Radio programming was suspended as a result of the Carr Wildfire that struck the Redding, CA area although the Hella Radio programming continued to stream online.  The station relocated from the former Redding Radio facility on Alta Mesa Drive to the [[KIXE-TV]] building on North Market Street.<ref>http://www.allaccess.com/net-news/archive/story/161039/knnn-lp-redding-ca-flips-from-country-to-alternati</ref> The frequency was sold to Walker Broadcast Group LLC on December 19, 2019.
