===K Rock (1990 - present)=== After simulcasting on both 1341 AM and 95.5 FM for two weeks, K Rock went to air at midday on the Saturday of the Australia Day weekend 1990, the first announcer to speak on the new FM station was Ian 'Strawny' Strachan. K Rock was also among the first commercial FM stations to cover [[Australian Football League|AFL football]]{{citation needed|date=August 2021}}, along with 3KKZ (KZFM) the same year. The lineup included [[Ted Whitten]], [[Sam Kekovich]], [[Billy Brownless]] and [[Dwayne Russell]], K Rock continues to focus on [[Geelong Football Club]] matches. Originally owned by [[Hoyts]], which operated [[Triple M]] brand in Australia, K Rock was sold to [[Grant Broadcasters]] in the mid-1990s. Shortly after this, the station purchased the rival Geelong station, [[93.9 Bay FM]], moving it from its Ryrie Street studios to co-locate in the K Rock studios in Moorabool Street, Geelong. Both K Rock and Bay FM now operate from the same studios in Geelong's CBD. In 2007, K Rock celebrated 75 years of broadcasting 3GL and K Rock Footy, culminating in a week of broadcasting at various events as the city celebrated the first AFL Premiership victory by the Geelong Football Club in 44 years. In 2010, K Rock underwent a major format change which re-focused the music toward a younger audience and minimised the station's traditional rock base. In later years, K Rock would take the [[ARN Regional]] music log, which is heard on ARN's regional stations including [[Power FM 103.1]].
