On October 5, 2020, KTSR changed their format from hot adult contemporary to urban adult contemporary, branded as "Magic 92.1" (format moved from KLCL 1470 AM Lake Charles, which went silent). [8]

On August 7, 2024, KTSR flipped to Christian adult contemporary as "Power 92.1", using programming from Salem Media Group's "Today's Christian Music" network. The flip now puts the station in competition with Educational Media Foundation's KRLR. Urban adult contemporary continues to be served in the market by KZWA.
