History
[edit]KPSI-FM signed on the air on June 13, 1960,[2] as the FM counterpart to KPSI (1450 AM). They were owned by the KPSI Radio Corporation. KPSI-FM originally broadcast on 100.9 FM, powered only at 3,000 watts. At the time, the station aired a top 40/contemporary hit radio format branded as "KPSI-101" and later "Power 101".
In November 1991, the frequency was changed to 100.5, which also allowed KPSI-FM to boost its power to 25,000 watts. On March 19, 2002, KPSI-FM dropped the top 40 sound, changing to its current hot adult contemporary music format and "Mix 100.5" branding.
