[edit] History
94.7 first signed on in 1979 as KYTN, and aired a beautiful music format as "Kitten FM 95". The station later tweaked to adult contemporary as "Lite Rock 95" in 1980, which lasted until May 1984 when it flipped to Top 40 as "Y95", competing with KKXL-FM "XL93".
Y95 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 tweaked to a locally originated classic country as "The Rooster 94.7".
On September 27, 2007, the station returned to rock with the "Power" moniker as "Power 94.7" with a classic rock format, to compete with Clear Channel's classic hits (a hybrid of classic rock and oldies) KQHT "96.1 The Fox" and active rock KJKJ "KJ108". The previous classic country format as "The Rooster" was moved to KCNN.
