History

In 1975, a license was given for a new station on 93.9 FM in El Paso, KPAS. "94FM" was El Paso's original rock station but changed away from the format in 1981, chasing listeners toward KLAQ at 95.5. Prior to Spanish-language programing, this station also aired Hot AC and CHR formats.

For the first time, in 1992, KPAS became KINT-FM. On March 18, 1994, the station changed its call sign to KSVE, only to revert to KINT-FM on May 20 of that year.^[3]

Spanish-language programming began in 1994 with the original "La Caliente" format (now occupied by an unrelated radio station XEJUA-AM) which broadcast Tejano music between 1994 and 1998; by then, the branding flipped to a Mexican Regional Top 40 format. That branding ended in 2007 in favor of Spanish-language variety AC "José FM" format, which ended in January 8, 2018 in favor of "La Suavecita" format, returning the Mexican Regional music to this station, this time as a Mexican Regional AC.^[4]
