WEBAug 12, 2021 — K945 Turns 25 Years Old Today and We’re Feeling Thankful. On August 12, 1996, K945 was born and we've been your Hit Music Channel ever since. The more things change, the more they stay the same. That's one phrase that immediately came to my mind when reflecting on K945's 25th birthday. That's a very long time in the radio business.
