KKSS-FM (KISS 97.3FM) is a Rhythmic Top 40 outlet serving the Albuquerque, New Mexico area. They are owned by Univision and its COL is Santa Fe, New Mexico. Their frequency is 97.3 MHz on the FM dial with an effective radiated power of 100 kW.

[edit] History

KKSS signed on with the format in 1987, although at times they had detoured to mainstream Top 40 a few times, mostly when they got new competition (most of them short-lived). But that all changed when Univision bought the station in 2002 and flipped it back to its current Rhythmic Top 40 direction after its former owners tried to make it a mainstream Top 40 again.

Today KKSS has managed to do successfully well with its mix of R&B/Hip-Hop and Rhythmic Pop product, despite the competition it is getting from mainstream Top 40 rival KKOB-FM.
