History

KLAK started broadcasting on the 104.9 FM frequency on October 17, 1983, licensed to Denison, Texas, as a soft adult contemporary format branded as K-LAKE 105. It moved to its present 97.5 FM frequency on May 12, 1987, and was renamed as 97.5 K-LAKE FM. The station rebranded as 97.5 KLAK in 2006.

In November 2016, KLAK expanded towards a variety hits format with the addition of more Hot AC songs. Four years later, KLAK gradually evolved to Hot AC full-time. This lasted for almost two years until August 30, 2022, when the station began stunting with station identifications and TM Studios jingles with the background of radio static for a short time, which led to the station's return to its "K-Lake" name and normal adult contemporary format.[1]

Programming

Besides music, KLAK's programming consists of talk shows (through Westwood One) and sports. The Sandy Show broadcasts every weekday morning at 5am-9am while Alan Freemont broadcasts at 2pm-6pm weekdays. KLAK airs McKinney ISD high school football broadcasts on Thursday and Friday evenings during the high school football season.
