KIPR (92.3 FM, "Power 92.3") is a commercial radio station located in Little Rock, Arkansas, broadcasting to the Pine Bluff, Brinkley, North Little Rock, Gould, Fordyce, Dumas and surrounding areas in Arkansas.

Station History

KIPR airs a mainstream urban format, which was launched in 1988 (Its fonts can be traced back to KPWR/Los Angeles due to having KPWR's radio consultant Don Kelly serving as KIPR's programming consultant at the time). It also simulcasts on sister station KPZK at 1250 AM. As an urban-formatted station, KIPR's main competition comes from fellow Mainstream Urban station KZTS, and Urban AC station KOKY, formerly a sister station.

It should be noted that KIPR's original owner was Buddy Deane, a disc jockey who worked in radio stations in the Little Rock and Memphis markets before achieving fame in Baltimore with a self-titled program that would inspire the 1988 original, Tony-award winning musical and 2007 musical film remake of Hairspray.
