History

KPSI-FM signed on the air on June 13, 1960, as the FM counterpart to KPSI (1450 AM). They were owned by the KPSI Radio Corporation.

In November 1991, the frequency was changed to 100.5, which also allowed KPSI-FM to boost its power to 25,000 watts. On March 19, 2002, KPSI-FM dropped the top 40 sound, changing to its current hot adult contemporary music format and "Mix 100.5" branding.
