History
Early years (2012–2020)
The station is one of the newest full power stations to the area, having received a construction permit in early 2012. It was assigned the KPST-FM call letters on May 15, 2012. While it was originally due to sign on in 2015, it received its broadcast license ahead of schedule on June 1, 2012, signing on that same day with a Regional Mexican format.[2] The station has kept the same call letters throughout its existence.
CHR era (2021–present)
On March 29, 2021, at midnight, KPST-FM flipped to a CHR format, branded as Fuego FM.[3] The change comes with the pending sale of KRCK-FM to VCY America, after which time KPST-FM will become the de facto CHR station. On that same day, the station picked up the syndicated Shoboy program for mornings.
Today, the station airs a Bilingual Rhythmic music presentation with songs in both English and Spanish.
