History

[edit]

KHAK is one of the top-ranked radio stations in the Cedar Rapids-Iowa City Market. It is based in the Cedar Rapids Market, but it is heard in theWaterloo-Cedar Falls andQuad Cities markets as well in spots. Townsquare Media is the owner of the station, as well as its sister stationsKRNA,KRQN, andKDAT.

The Cedar Rapids allocation for 98.1 FM signed on in 1961, alongside its AM sister station at1360 AM, both taking on the call letters KHAK. In the early 1960’s KHAK’s format was MOR, news and talk. Tony Dean, the infamous outdoorsman, was the morning personality and Program Director at KHAK. In the late 1960’s both stations changed format to country music and for many years the FM signal duplicated from the AM frequency.University of Iowa athletics were also a mainstay for many years. This setup continued for many years, until some point in the mid-1990s when KHAK (AM) changed its format tocontemporary Christian as KTOF, and was a simulcast ofKWOF inHiawatha, Iowa;[2] KHAK-FM's country format remains to this day.

On August 30, 2013, a deal was announced in which Townsquare Media would acquire 53Cumulus Media stations, including KHAK, for $238 million. The deal is part of Cumulus' acquisition ofDial Global; Townsquare and Dial Global are both controlled byOaktree Capital Management.[3][4] The sale to Townsquare was completed on November 14, 2013.[5]
