Three signals, one station
Prior to their unification in 1998 as K94, the three stations were known by other names.

KMSK signed-on August 4, 1980 as KTAZ. The station aired a full-service/Top 40 format targeting the southeastern portions of the Denver metro area, as "Taz 94". It later changed callsigns to KYYP and ran an oldies format until 1992, when it flipped to alternative rock as KXXX-FM "Triple X Radio". This was the initial FM station purchased by Global Communications that helped to form K94.

KDVR-FM signed on May 1, 1986 as a sister station to, TV channel 31. Owned by Centennial Broadcasting Corporation and later Renaissance Broadcasting, it first ran a Top 40 format as "94R". "94R" took heavy shots against it's CHR neighbor on the dial, "All Hit 96 KPKE". Within 71 days of the station's sign-on, "94R" had overtaken "All Hit 95 KPKE" in the Denver market ratings, and would eventually lead to KPKE flipping to Soft AC in June 1987. However, this did not lead into long-term ratings success as KDVR-FM struggled during the early 90s reign of grunge and gangsta rap, and would eventually lead to "94R" flipping to oldies as "Memories 94.5" in 1993. KDVR-FM then flipped to a Hot AC format as "The New 94R" in 1995, shortly before it's sale to Global Communications.

KXDC is the oldest of the three stations, having signed on the air July 13, 1960 as KBOU, a public radio station owned by the, later becoming a charter affiliate of NPR. In 1994, the University announced the station was up for sale. In 1995, it was sold to Global Communications and converted to commercial status.
