KOSO (92.9
KOSO has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 3,000 watts and is a Class A station. The transmitter is off West Hatch Road in Riverdale Park, California, near the Tuolumne River.[2] (The tower was originally near Mount Oso, from which it got its call sign KOSO.) KOSO broadcasts in the HD Radio hybrid format. The HD2 subchannel carried a top 40 format known as "M Style Radio", (in partnership with American department store chain Macy's, and primarily competed with Cumulus' KHOP, as well as running under the iHeartRadio brand for a time) but that programming has since been discontinued with the HD2 subchannel being turned off.
