KFAT (94.5 FM) was an eclectic freeform country music station which also featured a mix of blues, rock music, bluegrass, Hawaiian music, and other genres. The 94.5 frequency now belongs to KBAY.
KFAT was on the air from 1975 until January 17, 1983. The station was co-founded by Laura Ellen Hopper (1950–2007) and Jeremy Lansman. Though KFAT is long-gone as a broadcast station, its legacy lives on via Santa Cruz area station KPIG-FM, as well as a few tribute sites and even a streaming webcast station.
