Full service KCKN moved to 1340AM in March 1941 and remained until the station adopted its long-running country format on February 8, 1957.  Cy Blumenthal's Continental Stations, which originally took KCKN country, sold the station to Danny Kaye's Kaye-Smith Radio in 1965 (and actually threw in the station's FM simulcast, 94.1FM, at no charge). In 1981, Albritton Communications purchased the station and moved the country format exclusively to 94.1FM under the new call letters KFKF, while launching Top 40 KRKR at 1340AM. Some believe KRKR was preceeded by an AC format, however former KR1340 jock Marty McGraw confirms that was not the case (though an urban format with KEKE calls may have occurred later in the 80s).  Before summer 1982 was out, KRKR flipped to a Country Gold format that was eventually programmed by KFKF mainstay Tony Stevens.  As the 90s began, Kansas Citian Bill Johnson purchased the station from Sconnix and launched CNN 1340.  In the years since, 1340AM has hosted standards, religious, sports, comedy, and now, Hispanic formats.
