On December 26, 2009, after airing Christmas music for a month, KOAS dropped Smooth Jazz for Rhythmic AC, giving the market two stations in the format, the other being KPLV (which would shift to top 40 roughly four months later).
On April 1, 2013, KOAS shifted their format to rhythmic oldies. In November 2013, the long time "Oasis" moniker (from the previous smooth jazz format) was dropped in favor of "Old School 105.7". [5]
On June 17, 2019, at Midnight, KOAS flipped to urban adult contemporary as Jammin' 105.7. [6] Musically, KOAS leans to Rhythmic Hot AC with hip-hop artists such as The Notorious B.I.G., Lil' Kim (and by extension Junior M.A.F.I.A.), Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Dr. Dre, and Outkast added to rotation.
