KPKY (94.9 FM, "94.9 & 104.5 The Pick") is a commercial radio station located in Pocatello, Idaho. KPKY airs a classic rock music format.

Ownership

In October 2007, a deal was reached for KPKY to be acquired by Gap Broadcasting II LLC (Samuel Weller, president) from Clear Channel Communications as part of a 57 station deal with a total reported sale price of $74.78 million. What eventually became GapWest Broadcasting was folded into Townsquare Media on August 13, 2010; Townsquare, in turn, sold its Idaho Falls–Pocatello stations to Rich Broadcasting in 2011.

History

Through the later 1980s, KPKY was branded as “95 Alive” with a Top 40 format. By 1991, the station rebranded as “The New Y95” and then changed to “Oldies 94.9” by 1993. By the late 1990s, the station had rebranded as “Kool 94.9” with a Classic Hits format. In the earlier 2000s, the station became simply known as “94 Nine” with Classic Rock. In 2018 the station rebranded to 94.9 & 104.5 The Pick.
