1988-1992: Top 40

In 1982, it would switch the format to Top 40/CHR as Music 107, marking it one of two dominant CHR stations in the mid-Missouri area at the period, with the other being KCMQ. Its current name Y107 was introduced in 1988.

On October 5, 1992, its call letters were changed to KKFA, with a soft rock format called "The Cafe" for a short period before returning to the KTXY call letters.
