History

Early years

KDNT-FM was established in June 1948 at 106.3 on the FM dial and moved to the current 106.1 frequency in 1962. The station was a simulcast of KDNT-AM during its early years. KDNT-FM went through a number of different formats during the late 1970s and early 1980s, including a Top 40/Oldies hybrid, Disco, Rock, and Country. The station's calls changed to KDDC in 1979, and then to KIXK at the start of 1981. KIXK's format remained Country (as "Kix 106") until changing to Oldies/Classic Hits in December 1982.
