History

KPRR, who made its debut with the format in September 1986 and patterned it after that of KPWR/Los Angeles, offers a more broad-based direction in its musical taste than most of the other Rhythmic Top 40 in the United States with its mix of R&B/Hip-Hop, Dance, Hurban and Rhythmic Pop fare. Prior to that, the station (formerly KLOZ, or K102) aired a country & western format.
