Launched in 1986 as KSXY, the station cycled through adult contemporary and contemporary hit radio formats before finding success with an adult album alternative format whose potential removal spurred listener outcry. It was sold to Sunbelt Communications Company in 1994 and became KRNV-FM, a news-oriented complement to its television station, KRNV. Sunbelt exited radio in 1999, and KRNV has had its present format ever since.
