Station history

From March 2006 to July 2007, KXRG-LP was on 101.1 MHz as "Energy 101.1". On July 1, 2007, the commercial full power station KORL-FM took over the frequency forcing KXRG-LP off the air. Full power stations have priority over low power stations and no frequencies were available for KXRG-LP at that time. The station was silent from July 2007 until April 29, 2010, when KXRG-LP received permission from the FCC to begin broadcasting effective immediately.
