History

The station went on the air on 104.5 MHz in 1993 as KYZX, a hot adult contemporary station co-owned with KCSJ and KNKN. [2] In March 1996, the format was changed to country, using ABC Radio's Real Country network. [3] This was replaced with classic rock, also supplied by ABC, in May 1998. [4]

Pueblo Broadcasters sold KYZX, KGHF, and KCSJ to Cy Bahakel's Colorado Springs Radio Broadcasters, owner of KILO in Colorado Springs, for $4.5 million in 1999. [5] Later that year, KYZX swapped frequencies with KSTY in Cañon City and moved to 103.9; it also changed its city of license from Pueblo to Pueblo West. [6]

KYZX continued its classic rock format as 103.9 The Eagle until October 31, 2008, when it adopted the 103-9 RXP moniker, changed the call letters to KRXP, and began a year-long transition from classic rock to alternative rock.[ citation needed ] On April 29, 2021, the station rebranded as X103-9 with no change in format.
