K Rock 95.5 (call sign: 3CAT; stylised as K rock 95.5) is a commercial FM radio station based in Geelong, Australia. K Rock operates a mainstream Top 40 playlist and also airs Australian Football League matches involving the Geelong Football Club.
K Rock shares transmitter facilities with sister station 93.9 Bay FM (along with 94.7 The Pulse and 96.3 Rhema FM), broadcasting from a transmitter on top of Murradoc Hill on the Bellarine Peninsula. The license area covers the Greater Geelong area, Werribee and Western Melbourne, The Golden Plains, and the Surf Coast. K Rock also streams online via their website.
The station was originally known as 3GL and broadcast on the AM band, most famously 1341 AM from 1978 onwards. In 1990, it was transferred to 95.5 on the FM band and changed its name to K-Rock. In 2023, 3GL was revived on 1341 AM and now broadcasts as its own station independent of K-Rock.
