History
KOKO-FM originally signed on the air as country station KTAA during the early 1980s. In the early 1990s, the station flipped to a short-lived hip-hop format as Jammin 94, before flipping to regional Mexican La Fiesta. In 1997, the station was acquired by Victor Brown, and flipped to a rhythmic format as 94.3 The Party. In 1998, Art Laboe acquired the station and it was rebranded as Power 94, and later Hit Radio 94.3 in August 2001.[2] This was then followed by a Rhythmic AC format.
On June 28, 2012, KOKO-FM flipped to classic hits.[3] On November 27, 2018, KOKO-FM again changed formats, this time to rhythmic oldies as Jammin' 94.3.[4]
