The station focuses strongly on today's hits, but occasionally plays songs dating back as far as the early 1990s. KDUK-FM plays these “old school” hits every weekday during the noon hour in a segment they call the Old School Lunch.
History
KDUK has spent the vast majority of its years as a CHR/Top 40 station. In its early years, it had a Hot Adult Contemporary format as “K-Duck FM 105” before changing to Classic Rock “Classics 104.7” in late 1987. KLCX (also known as “The X”) was a Classic Rock station until early 1993, when 104.7 returned to pop music as CHR/Top 40, and the KDUK call letters. In 1993 (when the CHR/Top 40 format debuted), it was branded “Power 104.7 K-D-U-K” which evolved into its current branding; “104.7 K-Duck” by 1995.
