[edit] History

XHRM debuted on the air in 1981 as San Diego's first Urban Contemporary FM station. Over the course of the decade, the station would evolve into a Rhythmic Top 40 format, being one of the first stations in the U.S. to regularly play Freestyle songs as a part of their playlist. The combination of the Latin based Freestyle songs along with the station's original mainstream R&B sound was a success, giving the station its signature style for the remainder of the decade. The station's sound returned to a less progressive, more traditional Urban Contemporary style again in 1990 due in part to a prospective buy-out. A few years later, in 1993 the station's format changed to Modern Rock (as "92.5 The Flash") before landing into its current format in 1998 after XETRA became its sister station.

At first the music focused on Rhythmic Oldies from the 1970s, 1980s and 1990s, but since then it has shifted more towards a current-based Rhythmic Adult Contemporary approach, with artists such as Usher and Destiny's Child blending in with the classic R&B/Ol' Skool/Classic Disco fare.
