Like most NAC stations that debuted concurrently with KTWV, the station began to abandon its jazz fusion and new age elements by the early 1990s in favor of a more straightforward mashup of adult contemporary crossover hits, soft R&B vocals, and contemporary jazz; this new mix would eventually come to define the new smooth jazz label for the format. The station hosts a weekly concert series called Sunday Brunch, which features both local and national artists. It is known for its diverse music programming, its friendly DJs, and its commitment to the community. The station is quite popular with all the streams of all classes.
