KRGT (99.3MHz) is a commercialFM radio station located inSunrise Manor, Nevada, broadcasting to theLas Vegas, Nevada, area. KRGT airs aSpanishcontemporary format branded as "Latino Beats 99.3". This station also routinely plays English language pop hits by non-Hispanic artists. Its studios are inSpring Valley, Nevada, and its transmitter is on Black Mountain southeast of theLas Vegas Valley. KRGT is owned by Latino Media Network; under alocal marketing agreement, it was programmed by previous ownerTelevisaUnivision'sUforia Audio Network until 2024.
The station signed on in 2000, as KPXG. The station permit had existed for years and had been planned as a 6,000-watt operation. Changes were made to run it as a minimal 100 watt operation. The station was owned by Claire "Reis" Benesara, manager ofKDWN radio in its pre-Beasley days.
The engineering department of HBC (predecessor of present-day Uforia Audio Network) moved several stations around in frequency and moved the station to Angel Peak where it operates as a class C zero station. Dana Demerjiana was GM, Eric Martel was the engineering manager, and David Stewart of HBC corporate organised the upgrade (basically an HBC specialty).
KRGT was one of eighteen radio stations thatTelevisaUnivision sold to Latino Media Network in a $60 million deal announced in June 2022, approved by theFederal Communications Commission (FCC) that November,[2] and completed on December 30.[3] Under the terms of the deal, Univision agreed to continue programming the station for up to one year under alocal marketing agreement.
On January 1, 2024, KRGT rebranded as "Latino Beats 99.3".[4]
