History [edit]
The station went on the air as KLSZ on September 12, 1972. On 1985-09-25, the station changed its call sign to KLSC. On 1987-04-01 to KYBG and finally on 1996-06-07 to the current KMXA.[1] In the late 1980s and into the 1990s, the station, under the call sign KYBG, was the first all-sports radio station west of the Mississippi River. Irv Brown was an early host on the station as well.
In 2009 the station began simulcasting sister station KXPK 96.5 FM. Later the station broadcast the 'Jose' Spanish Oldies format, which is now at KJMN 92.1 FM.
Today the station broadcasts the Entravision "Maria Siempre Romántica" format.
