About KXRK HD2 X96 Classic

X96 Classic on KXRK’s HD2 channel focuses on the era that defined alternative music, with a curated mix of 80s, 90s, and 2000s favorites that shaped modern rock and indie. Centered on Salt Lake City and the Wasatch Front, it revisits the artists and songs listeners grew up with while offering deeper cuts that still resonate. The station’s heritage connection to X96 makes it a natural home for classic alternative, balancing anthems with lesser‑heard gems and keeping the energy tight and familiar for workdays, study sessions, and late‑night listening.

As a companion to X96’s main signal, X96 Classic preserves the attitude and edge that built the format, presented with clean imaging and a forward tempo that feels fresh even when spinning decades‑old favorites. It’s designed for fans who want the heart of alternative without constant repetition, placing bands from post‑punk to grunge and early 2000s indie in thoughtful rotation. With a focus on Salt Lake City listeners who remember the scene’s rise and newer fans discovering its roots, the stream keeps classic alt alive and close at hand.
