History

[edit]

In 1983, the Federal Communications Commission granted an application to Hualapai Broadcasters to build a new radio station on 105.9 MHz in Kingman, Arizona. The station went on air November 1, 1990, as KRCY with an oldies format.[4]

In 2001, Spectrum Scan LLC purchased KRCY from Hualapai for $4 million.[5] A translator was added in Las Vegas before Entravision acquired KRCY the next year for moving in to Las Vegas.[6] It then changed the station's call sign to KQRT before announcing that it would move KRRN and its Spanish-language contemporary hit radio format from 105.1 MHz to 92.7 MHz.[7]

The Fuego brand was rolled out to Las Vegas on March 29, 2021, replacing adult contemporary La Suavecita.[8] Previous formats include adult hits as José, Regional Mexican El Gato ("The Cat"), and Spanish contemporary hit radio as Súper Estrella.[9]
