History
The station signed on as KSOO-FM in 1971. In 1973, KSOO-FM changed call letters to KPAT. For many years, it was Sioux Falls' dominant Top 40/CHR station.
On August 21, 1993, at 6 p.m., KPAT began stunting with a computerized countdown. At noon on August 23, KPAT flipped to country as "Kat Country". On November 22, 1994, at 5 p.m., KPAT flipped to a hot adult contemporary format as KMXC, "Mix 97.3".
The station debuted its current format and callsign on August 31, 2020, after stunting the weekend prior with a loop of "Back in Time" by Huey Lewis and the News. The first song on KKRC-FM was "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince.
