[edit] History
KKSS signed on with the format in 1985, 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.
