History as "Fiesta Las Vegas"
"Fiesta" originally debuted May 2020 as the low-power FM6 radio station 87.7 KGHD-LP, and launched as "Fiesta 87.7 FM" ("Fiesta Las Vegas"). It operated as such until the FCC low-power broadcasting shutdown of July 2021 pushed radio operators of "Franken-FM" analog stations such as "Fiesta" to change their broadcasting frequencies.[3][4]
In anticipation of the merger, station co-owners Rafael Cerros and Rogelio "El Torito" Regalado purchased the 98.1 FM translator K251BS in April 2021,[5] following which they adjusted their programming to the frequency and rebranded as "Fiesta 98.1 FM". Since its conversion the station's content has been relayed through the 98.5 MHz HD-3 sub-channel of Audacy-owned KLUC-FM.[6]
In addition to terrestrial FM radio, Fiesta broadcasts through a number of online applications including their station website and mobile apps.[7]
