'''KRQB''', 96.1FM, is one of four [[southern California]] [[radio station]]s branded as "Que Buena" and which all play [[Regional Mexican|Mexican regional]] music. Its shared owner is [[Liberman Broadcasting]]. |
|||
==History== |
|||
In [[1990]], the station signed on, as KWRP, programming an [[adult standards]] music format. On January 22, [[2003]], the station changed its format airing [[Regional Mexican|regional mexican]] music under the branding of "Fiesta Mexicana" later re-branded to "Ranchera 96.1" on February 25, [[2003]]. When KWIE went on air they quickly caused competition to station [[KGGI|99.1 KGGI]], which is also in the [[Inland Empire (California)|IE]]. |
|||
KWIE tested the [[hurban]] music format which consisted of [[Hip hop music|Hip-Hop]]/[[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] and [[Reggaeton]]. While it was a [[hurban]] station it was known as Wild 96.1, with the slogan ''[[Hip hop music|Hip-Hop]] y más.'' In late 2006 KWIE changed to its current format of [[Rhythmic Contemporary|Rhythmic Top 40]]. This change did not cause any change to its [[Hip hop music|Hip-Hop]]/[[Rhythm and blues|R&B]] music, but resulted in no more [[Reggaeton]] music in its regular playlist. As a result, the slogan changed from "''Hip-hop y más''" to "''#1 for hip-hop''." |
|||
On [[July 19]], [[2007]], the station was sold to Liberman Broadcasting Inc. for $25 million.[http://news.radio-online.com/cgi-bin/$rol.exe/headline_id=b10082] When the deal closed, the KWIE call sign was moved to 93.5FM, which simulcasts KDAY. KRQB then joined the simulcast of the other three stations (KEBN [[Garden Grove, California|Garden Grove]], [[KBUE]] [[Long Beach, California|Long Beach]], and KBUA [[San Fernando, California|San Fernando]]) on or about [[August 1]]. |
