History

94.7 first signed on in the 1970s as KYTN, and aired a Beautiful Music format as "Kitten 95". The station later tweaked to adult contemporary as "Lite Rock 95" in 1980, which lasted until May 1984 when it flipped to CHR/Top 40 format as "Y95", competing with KKXL-FM "XL93".

"Y-95" later flipped to album oriented rock (the predecessor to the classic rock format) as "Power 95" with the KNOX-FM call sign in 1988. KNOX-FM later became "Laser 95", until flipping to oldies in 1990 as "Kool 94.7". The station later flipped to a satellite fed classic country format as "Real Country 94.7" during the 1990s. In 2002, it switched to a locally originated classic country as "The New Rooster 94.7".
