KKKK was the call sign used from 2005 to 2010 by the 1580 AM facility licensed to Colorado Springs. It was one chapter in a much longer line that began with KPIK in 1957.
Station identity
The 1580 facility had operated as KPIK and KWYD before taking the KKKK calls. In 2010 it became KREL; later identities included KHIG and KFCS. Treating KKKK as an era of the same licensed facility preserves the connection without implying that every call sign carried the same format or ownership.
