At the same time, the former KRSI became KPXP, retaining the Power 99 name and format despite being on 97.9 MHz.
On October 12, 2023, Sorensen Media Group opted to sell the station to Glimpse Media, and after a lot of speculation about the station's future. On the next day, radio station signed off together with sister stations KGUM-FM, KGUM (AM) and KZGZ, due to a format changes.
