[edit] History

The station hit the airwaves in 1997 as KXME, "Xtreme Radio @ 104.3", and offered a Mainstream Top 40 direction that focused on Hip-Hop and Modern Rock hits. It proved to be a success at first, but by 1998 it would wear out its welcome, resulting in the station dropping the Modern Rock tracks and shifting to a Rhythmic Top 40 direction. In 2004 it changed its call letters to KPHW and adopted the "Power 104.3" handle to reflect its current positioner and their focus on R&B/Hip-Hop product.
