KIPR (92.3FM, "Power 92 Jams") is a commercialradio station carrying anurban contemporary format located inLittle Rock, Arkansas andlicensed toPine Bluff. It is owned byCumulus Media. The station's studios are located in West Little Rock, and the transmitter tower is located inJefferson, northwest of Pine Bluff. Due to the transmitter location emitting 100 kilowatts, the signal covers most of CentralArkansas including places likeBrinkley,North Little Rock,Conway,Gould,Fordyce andDumas.
KIPR airs an urban contemporary format, which was launched in 1988. (Its roots can be traced back toKPWR/Los Angeles due to having KPWR's radio consultant Don Kelly serving as KIPR's programming consultant at the time). It also simulcasts on sister stationKFOG at 1250 AM, although the transmitter site for this station is inCollege Station, Arkansas (just south ofClinton National Airport). As an urban-formatted station, KIPR's main competition comes from direct competitorsKHTE-FM andUrban AC stationKOKY, which was placed into a separate trust in 2007 to address ownership concentration concerns but remains mainly operated by Cumulus.
KIPR's original owner was Buddy Deane, a disc jockey who worked in radio stations in the Little Rock and Memphis markets before achieving fame in Baltimore with aself-titled program that would inspire the1988 original,Tony-award-winning musical,2007 musical film remake, and2016 live television special ofHairspray.
