History

KOKO originally signed on the air as a country station known as "KTAA" during the early 1980s. In the early 90s the format changed to an all hip hop station known as "Jammin 94". It didn't last long, eventually flipping the format again, this time to a Regional Mexican Station known as "La Fiesta" (The Party). But in 1997, Victor Brown bought the station and it flipped to a hip hop and R&B station known as "94.3 The Party". Art Laboe bought the station in 1998, and rebranded the station as "Power 94." In August 2001, the station flipped to a mix of Art Laboe's trademark "Killer Oldies" as KOKO.[1]

On June 28, 2012, KOKO shifted their format to classic hits.[2]
