. the station changed frequency to 1197 khz in 1978 . in the early 1980s 5ka adopted a country music format and re branded itself 12k . the format was short lived . on 1 january 1990 5ka became the first of two commercial am radio stations in adelaide to convert to the fm band . the station bid 5.5 million in a priced based allocation process the previous year for the fm licence . 5ka moved to the frequency 104.7 mhz and the am frequency was relinquished . with the fm conversion the 5ka call sign was changed to 5kka and the station was branded on air as kafm . the am frequency was re purposed and allocated to a community broadcasting license 5rph . the former transmission equipment which was co located with competitor 5ad at the time was handed over to the operators contracted to provide transmission facilities to 5rph but the infrastructure was effectively abandoned . in 1993 hoyts media which owned the triple m radio network in the eastern states had bought 5kka but could not adopt the triple m call sign in adelaide as a community radio station already had the call sign 5mmm . hoyts then paid 5mmm for the right to use the triple m name . the community station 5mmm then converted to 5ddd and 5kka was then free to change its call sign to 5mmm and adopt the triple m network brand . with the merger of the hoyts triple m network into the austereo network the station became a sister station to safm and relocated to the ground floor of the building that was partly occupied by safm at the time . as of 2014 it has reverted to a classic rock format compared to the 90
