==History== KOYE signed on in 1972 on 92.7 MHz with 3,000 watts of effective radiated power. A year later, it moved to 94.9 and increased its power to 100,000 watts. In 1999, KOYE became KQUR and adopted a rock format known as "Cure 95".
In 2007, KQUR flipped its format from [[rhythmic oldies]] "Jammin' 94.9" to [[hot adult contemporary]] "94.9 The Works - Fully Loaded Music". Initially a success, BMP Radio realized that the Laredo Borderplex needed a more popular format, fitting for the area. So in 2009, the station flipped its format to [[mainstream rock]] while retaining the name. In February 2012, station ownership moved the format to [[XHGTS-FM]] 107.3 FM for a few days; at the time, a Mexican affiliate of Border Media Partners owned and operated XHGTS. As a result, the Digital Spanish Top 40 format that had been on XHGTS was instituted on KQUR. KQUR's programming was formerly simulcast over local low-power television station [[KYLX-LD|KNEX-LP]] channel 55.
