KQUR (94.9FM "Digital 94.9 FM") is a SpanishTop 40 formatradio station serving theLaredo, Texas,United States andNuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas,Mexico markets.

History

[edit]

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 fromrhythmic oldies "Jammin' 94.9" tohot 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 tomainstream rock while retaining the name. In February 2012, station ownership moved the format toXHGTS-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 stationKNEX-LP channel 55.
