History

The station went on the air in 2008 as KRYE, a regional Mexican station owned by United States CP, LLC.^[2] United States CP reached a deal to sell KRYE, along with KGRE-FM in Estes Park, to Greeley Broadcasting Corporation for $1.175 million in 2019.^[3] Greeley, owner of KFVR-FM in Beulah, already operated KRYE and KGRE-FM as "Tigre", sharing the same branding and regional Mexican format as KGRE in Greeley.^[4]

By February 2020, the station had changed its call sign to KFVR-FM and gone silent; at that time, United States CP reached a new $150,000 deal to sell the station to the Educational Media Foundation (EMF). Under a network affiliation agreement, the station joined Air1 on March 10, 2020.^[5] The station's call sign was changed from KWRY to KRNX-FM on February 13, 2025; the KWRY call sign was concurrently moved to sister station KLCX. The KRNX call sign is shared with EMF's AM radio station in Fountain, which changed its call sign from KJME on February 27.^[6]
