History[]

The station went on the air as KQYK on September 29, 2005, with a country format as "The Eagle".[1] On September 26, 2007, the station flipped to active rock as "95.7 The Blaze," with a format and logo similar to that of sister station KIBZ in Lincoln, Nebraska. On February 1, 2012, KQYK changed their call sign to KMKO-FM. On February 20, 2012, at 11am, KMKO-FM switched to a news/talk format, as Fake It by Seether faded into The Jim Rome Show.[2] The station flipped back to Active Rock as "95-7 The Rock Station" on December 6, 2012.[3]
