History
Adult alternative (1994–1998)
On June 8, 1994, KXPK first signed on. It was owned by Evergreen Communications and began with an adult album alternative format, calling itself "96.5 The Peak", and aimed to compete with heritage station KBCO, which often leads the Denver market's ratings for 25-54-year-old men. But while KBCO's ratings remained strong, KXPK failed to catch on with adult rock listeners.
Regional Mexican (2002–present)
The Peak's English-language format officially ended on April 18, 2002. KXPK then began stunting with a two-week simulcast of Entercom-owned KALC, advising KXPK listeners to move to the now former sister station and its Modern AC format. After the simulcast ended, Entravision took control of KXPK and began airing Entravision's "Radio Tri-Color" Regional Mexican music format.
