On January 7, 2019, KNOC changed its format from urban adult contemporary to classic country, branded as "95.9 Kix Country".[3] On November 13, 2025, KNOC changed its format from classic country to rhythmic throwbacks, branded as "95.9 The Bounce".[4]
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) cancelled the station's license on January 26, 2026.[5] Owner Bill Vance surrendered the licenses for his stations—KNOC, K240EY, and KSBH—following an inquiry by the FCC over KNOC's operational status. The inquiry was prompted by a complaint that claimed KNOC and K240EY had been silent for at least two years; it also alleged that K240EY had been originating programming, despite KNOC itself remaining off the air, since November 2025.[6]
