KQKS history

KQKS's origins began in 1986, when Western Cities Broadcasting purchased KLMO-FM (licensed to Longmont) and moved the transmitter site closer to Denver to enter the Denver Top 40 wars. At the time, the station was at 104.3 and was known as KS104. By 1989, they evolved into a Dance-leaning rhythmic contemporary hit direction, but by 1993, they would start shifting back to a mainstream Top 40 direction again after they were left standing as the only Top 40 in the market.
