[edit] History

KSXE signed on with its current format on August 3, 2006. But prior to its debut it stunted with a "Porn Radio" format, which made headlines in the music trades. They describe their format "Rhythmic for Adults", but because of the large hispanic population, they also play some freestyle and latin rhythmic cuts.

When the station first signed on, they were originally known as KFYE up until it March 30, 2007, when after a week of speculation it changed its calls to KSXE, which they did so it can match their on-air moniker.

During the Summer of 2007 KSXE began shifting away from Rhythmic AC to a Top 40/CHR direction with a Rhythmic lean, and by September 2007 completed the transistion.

On Tuesday, October 30, 2007, "Sexy 106.3" became known as "Power 106". This coincides with the purchase by MackNificent Broadcasting Inc.
