History
KRAK-AM originally signed on in 1990 carrying a smooth jazz format. The call letters were borrowed from a legendary 50,000 watt Country music station in Sacramento which is owned by CBS and today is 1140 KHTK. On July 31, 2008, CBS Radio announced plans to sell its mid-size and small market stations (including KRAK) to focus more on major market clusters. However, such a sale was never consummated.
On November 15, 2011 KRAK changed its format to sports, branded as "910 ESPN". The previous ESPN Radio affiliate in the region, 103.1 KVFG, began stunting with Christmas music, then switched to classic rock.
In September 2012, KRAK began a transition to CBS Sports Radio with hourly updates. It left ESPN and began 24-hour broadcasts of CBS Sports Radio on January 2, 2013.
