On November 16, 2012, at 7:00 pm, KOGO-FM began airing a stunt of Christmas music. This was most likely due to the fact that, unlike many other talk radio stations across America that simulcast programming on the FM dial, the FM simulcast never improved KOGO’s ratings.

The stunt lasted until December 26 2012 at 9:57 AM. At that time, after playing “Silent Night” by Josh Groban, the station relaunched as Urban Oldies with a Rhythmic lean, “95.7 Kiss FM”, with a logo based off of sister station KIIS-FM in Los Angeles and format mirrored in the style of KISQ in San Francisco and KHHT in Los Angeles.

The station launched with “Kiss” by Prince, followed by “You Should Be Dancing” by the Bee Gees. 95.7 Kiss FM is currently competing against Rhythmic Oldies XHRM-FMMagic 92.5. (From wikipedia)
