History

In 1969, the station signed on as Northwest Arkansas' only rock station, originally at 92.1 MHz in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The format was free form, allowing the disc jockeys to choose the music they wanted to play, with the freedom to discuss music, pop culture and other topics between songs.

In the late 1970s, the station moved to a more structured playlist. The station aired tracks from the most popular rock albums. In 1980, KKEG was the first Northwest Arkansas radio station to give away a new vehicle. In 1999, KKEG celebrated 30 years of broadcasting rock and roll to Northwest Arkansas listeners by giving away a home.
