History

94.5 FM signed on in 1958 as KGAF-FM and AM 1580 as an oldies format. The station was owned by the Leonard Brothers and the transmitter was east of Gainesville. KGAF would last until the 1980s when the 94.5 frequency would be sold off.

KDNT

94.5 was then sold to Mel Wheeler, who owned 106.1 (now KHKS). KDNT broadcast a country format, which was previously on 106.1. The country format would be moved to the newly acquired 94.5 frequency. 94.5 would never claim good ratings in the Dallas-Fort Worth market due to the location of the tower east of Gainesville which would have a rimshot signal into the Metroplex.
