KLOE-FM (102.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Goodland, Kansas. The station broadcasts a classic rock format and is owned by Kansas Broadcast Company, LLC.[2]
History
[edit]
In 2016, Rocking M Radio rebranded KKCI to "102.5 U-Rock", with no changes to the classic rock format.[3]
After Rocking M Media filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in March 2022, the bankruptcy court approved an auction for the company's properties in November 2023, to take place in February 2024.[4] At the auction, Kyle Bauer's Kansas Broadcast Company acquired KKCI and KLOE, along with eight other Kansas radio stations in Colby, Dodge City, and Liberal, for $2,845,500.[5] The new owners rebranded KKCI to "RockIt 102.5" in August 2024, with no changes to the format or programming.[6]
After KLOE's tower was destroyed in December 2025, Kansas Broadcast Company elected to close the AM station and move its "Good Neighbor Hour" morning show to KKCI.[7] To preserve the KLOE call sign, KKCI became KLOE-FM at 1:02 p.m. on January 26, 2026.[8]
