92.9 FM history
In the 1980s, 92.9 FM was home to KSPZ, which featured an adult contemporary format and used the on-air handle "Z93". In early 1990, KSPZ flipped to an oldies format and took on the slogan "Oldies 92.9." KSPZ's oldies format evolved to classic hits in the fall of 2005, adding more songs from the 1970s and 1980s, while dropping most 1950s and early 1960s titles.
In June 2006, locally owned Pikes Peak Broadcasting sold KRDO-FM 95.1 FM "The Peak," to Citadel Broadcasting, who changed the station to Cat Country 95.1 (KATC). Citadel Broadcasting then adopted the "Peak" moniker for the 92.9 frequency soon thereafter. On October 5, 2006, KSPZ became "The New Peak FM," adopting the call letters KKPK.
The new format combined the classic hits of the 1970s and 1980s with the newer titles that the original KRDO-FM offered as a Hot AC format.
The announcement of the new station was made by the morning show at 9:29 am on the top of Pikes Peak in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011.
Peak history
In 1994, the "Peak" moniker was held by a Colorado Springs Adult Contemporary station on the 95.1 frequency, with the KRDO-FM calls. In 1998, "Peak 95.1" evolved into a Hot AC format which it maintained until Citadel took over operations of the station in 2006.
