History [edit]
For years, the station broadcast an Album Oriented Rock format as "92.1 The Keg" with the call sign KKEG. On June 11, 2009 the KKEG call sign and rock music format were moved to 98.3 FM in Bentonville, Arkansas. The KQSM-FM call sign that had been on 98.3 FM was then moved to 92.1 FM and branded as "ESPN 92.1 - The Ticket". In January of 2013, parent company Cumulus Media entered into a partnership with the new CBS Sports Radio Network. Over 150 Cumulus sports stations around the country were part of this initiative. The Ticket is currently affiliated with CBS Sports Radio.
