History

K-94-5 signed on in August 1996 as "Big Dog 94-5" and has broadcast in its current Top 40 format for 12 years. Previous to adopting the KRUF call letters, K-94-5 was known as KWKH-FM, sister station to the legendary KWKH, home of the Louisiana Hayride.

KWKH-FM began broadcasting November 21, 1948. It was operated by International Broadcasting Corporation, which was owned by The Shreveport Times.[2]
