History

103.3 FM flipped from its Rhythmic AC format on May 31, 2012 by stunting with a Polka format for seven days before settling into a high-energy Rhythmic Top 40 format, offering a hybrid mix of currents, old school and Dance hits, the latter being heavily dayparted in evenings.^[2] The evening block of programming is branded as "Radio Planeta" and features a bilingual English/Spanish combination of dance music.

According to station owner Steven R Bartholomew, "This station represents music with energy!"^[3]

KIQN has been granted a construction permit to move to 103.1 FM.^[4][5]

On September 1, 2015, the then-KJQY changed their format to country, branded as "KIQ'N Country".^[6] The station changed its call sign to the current KIQN on November 23, 2015.
