To coincide with its 30th anniversary, two KNAC reunions took place on January 8–9, 2016. On January 8, former KNAC DJ Ted "Thrasher" Pritchard hosted a reunion show on his podcast "Thrashpie Radio", where many of the DJs, production directors, and other former employees of KNAC (including general manager Gary "The Coach" Price) shared their experiences at the radio station. The podcast also included audio clips from various KNAC events, as well as bumper sticker advertisements and promos. On the day after, Los Angeles rock station KLOS hosted a five-hour KNAC tribute, titled "The KNAC Pure Rock Salute", hosted by former KNAC DJs Stew, Gonzo Greg, Long Paul, Thrasher and Dangerous Darren Silva. The "Pure Rock Salute" duplicated KNAC's format, complete with imaging, bumper sticker advertisements, and many songs that had not been played on terrestrial radio in Los Angeles since KNAC signed off two-and-a-half decades earlier. It also included interviews with Scott Ian, Rob Halford and Lars Ulrich (who DJ'd on the final day of KNAC in 1995). The "Pure Rock Salute" broadcast is available for download at archive.org.
