the next sixteen years . county dj jack wesley cactus jack call was at the station from kckn for one week when he was killed on january 25 1963 in a car crash . singer patsy cline sang at a benefit

kansas city . after a short period of religious programming beginning in 1978 the station achieved its strongest ratings to date with a switch to soft adult contemporary as klsi fm classy 93 on may 20 1982 . the first song on classy was kansas city lights by steve wariner . following the purchase of the station by apollo broadcasting in april 1990 the station rebranded as mix 93 in july of that year . in addition their call letters were changed to kmxv which were adopted on november 15 of that year and the station shifted towards the growing hot ac format though the station s playlist largely remained the same the hot ac format was very similar to the mainstream ac format at the time . due to the lack of a full signaled top 40 outlet in the market kisf s signal was mostly east of the city kmxv began a slow transition to the format in 1993 and 1994 shifting the ac format and personalities over to then sister kudl . on march 28 1994 the change to mix 93.3 was complete . 4 in the

offering more rhythmic content than kmxv and to a lesser extent urban contemporary kprs mix has maintained high ratings for years . however this changed in late 2010 when kchz began overtaking them in the ratings as that station was ranked 2 with a 6.2 share while mix had a 5.6 share and ranked 5 . to combat this the station began leaning more towards rhythmic content while slightly edging away from its long time adult lean and with sister station kckc having relaunched its ac format with an upbeat approach in 2014 kmxv has moved more towards a current based presentation in line with other top 40 chrs in the united states . concert edit kmxv produces an annual day long concert every year with the title red white & boom . artists such as ashlee simpson maroon 5 kelly clarkson jesse
