Thr Eagle 94.7 and 93 Country

Both stations broadcasted a country music format throughout the 1990s and early 2000s, although under separate ownership and with separate indentities. KMCN (then KZEG) was then known as "The Eagle 94.7" while KMCS (then KCWW) was known as "93 Country". By 2005 both stations were owned by Prairie Communications who decided to drop the country format and go with an Adult Hits format simulcast on both stations.

Mac 94.7 - 93.1: 2005 to present

The switch from country music to variety hits on both stations happened in November, 2005, with the new stations branded as "93.1 & 94.7-MaC FM." KZEG changed its call letters to KMCN, for Mac North, while KWCC changed its call letters to KMCS, for Mac South.
