History
It signed on the air in 1947, as KUOA-FM, owned by John Brown University in Siloam Springs, Arkansas.[3] It was originally powered at 2,600 watts, a fraction of its current output.
The station was previously known as "Night Flight 106" and later "K106" in 1981, running a Top 40 format. In the mid-1980s, the station’s format was updated to hot adult contemporary. The station returned back to its Top 40 format on July 30, 1989.
