History

The station

signed on the air on February 20, 1983; 41 years ago.^[4] Its original call sign was KFXX. It was a Class A FM station, limited to 3,000 watts of power, on a short tower in Green Valley. It was barely audible in the city of Tucson. The station's class was later boosted to C2, allowing it to increase power to 50,000 watts. Its tower was relocated into the more lucrative Tucson radio market

.

In 1993, the station was acquired by Lotus Communications for $1.26 million.^[5] It played alternative rock as KFMA.

Lotus already owned a Regional Mexican station on 102.1 MHz, KCMT. On March 21, 2014, Lotus switched the two stations. KCMT and its Regional Mexican format moved to 92.1 FM, while KFMA and its alternative rock sound moved to the 102.1 FM frequency.
