KKFM is a radio station out of Colorado Springs and Pueblo, Colorado. It plays a classic rock format on 98.1 FM and is under ownership of Cumulus Media.
KKFM originally broadcast at 96.5 FM. In 1986, 96.5 KKFM changed from playing contemporary hit radio to playing \"Colorado Classics\" (including AOR rock). 96.5 KKFM later became 98.1 KKFM. It switched to 98.1 at 5:30 a.m. on September 14, 1992, allowing two new stations to sign on: KBIQ (now KIBT) 96.1 in Colorado Springs, and KXPK 96.5 in Denver.
