History
The KHKK license has its roots in KTRB-FM, the sister station to KTRB radio. In 1974, it relaunched as KHOP. KHOP had a Contemporary Hit Radio format during the 1980s. It switched to Album Oriented Rock on November 2, 1992 and was known as Rock 104.
On April 23, 1996, Rock 104 moved to its new frequency at 95.1 FM and after a few days of an All Elvis stunt, it switched formats on April 29, 1996 to classic hits and changed its call sign to KROW, Arrow 104.1 "All Rock & Roll Oldies".
On August 5, 1996, KROW became KHKK "The Hawk", retaining the classic hits format. On December 1, 2000, The Hawk moved to a harder-edged classic rock sound, while The Bob & Tom Show moved over from its sister station at 95.1 FM. Richard Perry is the Hawk's Program Director, and serves as disc jockey from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. He was formerly employed at the legendary, original KDJK-95.1 as production director as well as co-host with Beaver Brown on the morning show.
