[edit] History

Pior to the sale to Citadel Broadcasting, KATC-FM was localy owned by Harry Hoth's Pikes Peak Broadcasting Company under the call letters KRDO-FM. The station signed on in the late 1960's broadcasting an Easy Listening/Beautiful Music format. In 1994 KRDO-FM dropped the format due to its decline nationwide and flipped it to Adult Contemporary and adopted the moniker "Peak 95.1." In 1998 Peak 95.1 evolved into a Hot AC format which it maintained until Citadel took over operations of the station. Citadel would revive the Peak moniker on sister station 92.9 FM with the new call letters KKPK.

The KRDO-FM calls were later picked up by a station that was operated by Pikes Peak Broadcasting and now is operated by News-Press & Gazette Company/Pikes Peak Radio, LLC.
