[edit] History
KNOX signed on in 1949 with a full service format blending music, news, talk, and radio dramas. It later became a Top 40 station, and changed to a mainly News/Talk format in the 1980s. Co-owned station KCNN was the former home of "Hot Talk" until Scott Hennen was promoted for a talk-show host job on WDAY-AM in Fargo, North Dakota. "Hot Talk" became replaced with "Mac Talk" with Mike McNamara on KNOX, who was stationed in Iraq as a Marine until August 2006.
[edit] Awards
The station is a finalist for the 2008 Crystal Radio Award for public service awarded by the National Association of Broadcasters.[1] Finalists will be honored and winners announced at the Radio Luncheon on April 15, 2008, during the NAB Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.
