KPKK (101.1 FM, "Radio Xtasis") is a commercial radio station licensed to Amargosa Valley, Nevada, United States, and serving the Las Vegas Valley. It simulcasts a Spanish-language adult contemporary format with KNNR in Sparks, Nevada, and is owned by Sky Media, LLC. [2]

Contents

KPKK has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 100,000 watts, the maximum for most American FM stations but it only uses horizontal polarization. The transmitter is northwest of Pahrump, giving it a rimshot signal in Las Vegas. [3]

History

The station signed on the air as KPUP on August 2, 2000. On July 22, 2003, the station changed its call sign to the current KPKK. [4]

On February 4, 2010, KPKK went silent due to financial reasons. Even when the station resumed transmissions, financial and technical issues continued to affect the station. It went silent again on January 24, 2012, though it later resumed operations. It cited technical reasons for going silent in 2012 and 2015.
