KCFX-FM is a classic rock station in Kansas City, Missouri. Playing album rock since its inception in the 1970s, they were originally called KIEE until they changed to KCFX on December 21, 1983. They play a blend of artists from the late 60s, 70s, and 80s. Recently they have started playing some hits from the 90s by artists like Bruce Springsteen and Scorpions. This comes after years of billing themselves as only playing 70s rock with some 60s and 80s. As the years wore on they added more 80s. Some of the artists they play are The Beatles, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Cheap Trick, Night Ranger, Inxs, Jimi Hendrix, Fleetwood Mac, Led Zeppelin, The Cars, The Police, Heart, Yes, Emerson, Lake and Palmer, Poison, and Creedence Clearwater Revival among many others. In 1990, they swapped frequencies with KMZU in Carrolton, jumping from 100.7 MHz to 101.1.
The Fox, since 1991, is the flagship station for the Kansas City Chiefs of the National Football League. It is believed to be the first FM music station to carry an NFL team's play-by-play.
The station carried The Bob & Tom Show from March 13, 2006 to February 9, 2007 as its morning drive program. The replacement will mark the tenth morning show in the last twelve years at KCFX. A new local morning show featuring former KYYS voices Larry Moffit and Frankie (formerly middays) now airs. On January 11, 2008, long time rival rocker KYYS changed formats (and call letters to KBLV), prompting KCFX to change its slogan to "Kansas City's Only Classic Rock Station."
