==History==
KRMS-FM was established in April 1964 as an FM [[sister station]] to [[KRMS (AM)|KRMS]] (1150 AM). Both stations were owned by Central Missouri Broadcasting Company under the co-ownership of James L. Risner and Ella Mae Risner.<ref name="bc76"/> In October 1979, the Risners agreed to transfer the [[broadcast license]] and the station's assets to Lakcom, a limited partnership with Alfred C. Sikes as General Partner. This deal was approved by the [[Federal Communications Commission]] (FCC) on January 10, 1980, and consummated on January 16, 1980.<ref name="fcc031gy"/> The new owners had the FCC change the station's [[call sign]] to KYLC on July 4, 1980.<ref name="fcc1"/>
The station was once known as "Lake 94" in the 1980s with an [[adult contemporary]] music format. Lakcom L.P. reached an agreement to sell KRMS to a new company called KRMS-KYLC, Inc., in April 1986.<ref name="fcc417fo"/> The deal was approved by the FCC on May 30, 1986, and the transaction was formally consummated on June 11, 1986. Among the company's investors was United States Senator [[John Danforth|John C. Danforth]].<ref name="slpd880521"/> In April 1990, the company, now wholly owned by John B. and Fredna B. Mahaffey, transferred the KRMS broadcast license directly to the Mahaffeys as individuals.<ref name="fcc221ee"/> They would soon fold the station into Mahaffey Enterprises, Inc.<ref name="mosos"/>
In September 1997, license holder Mahaffey Enterprises, Inc. reached an agreement to sell KRMS to Viper Communications, Inc. The deal gained FCC approval on October 30, 1997, and the transaction was consummated on November 13, 1997.<ref name="fcc905eb"/> On January 9, 1998, the new owners (Viper Communications) had the FCC restore its previous KRMS-FM call sign. The station was assigned the [[call sign]] KMYK by the FCC on September 30, [[2006 in radio|2006]],<ref name="fcc1"/> as the station flipped to  from classic rock to [[variety hits]], branded as "93.5 Mike FM". This format eventually evolved into a Modern and Classic Rock mix, eventually changing from Mike FM to the present 93.5 ROCKS.
On December 20, 2021, Viper once again restored 93.5's original call letters KRMS-FM, releasing the KMYK call letters that were in place since 2006.
==HD Radio==
In February 2018, KRMS-FM launched a classic country format on its HD2 subchannel, branded as "Classic Country 104.9" (simulcast on translator K285ER Osage Beach).<ref>[https://radioinsight.com/headlines/137054/classic-country-104-9-debuts-osage-beach/ Classic Country 104.9 Debuts in Osage Beach] Radioinsight - February 21, 2018</ref>
