KISR (93.7 MHz) is a radio station, broadcasting a contemporary hit radio format. The station serves the Fort Smith, Arkansas, area, and is rebroadcast on translator K241CE (96.1 FM) in Fayetteville, Arkansas. The station is currently owned by Stereo 93, Inc.
History
KISR was started in 1971, by Fred Baker, Jr., Bernie Baker, and Ed Hopkins III. Its original offices, studio, and transmitter were in the front three rooms of Fred and Bernie Baker's home at 605 North Greenwood in Fort Smith, and the antenna was hung on a utility pole in the backyard. In the market's first Arbitron ratings, KISR had a 32-share compared to the next closest station's 13 share. The transmitter is located in Young Mountain, north of Van Buren, Arkansas. Its studios and offices are in Central Mall in Fort Smith.
On April 10, 2026, after a $1.235 million sale filing of Fred Baker’s Stereo 93 Inc. to Pearson Broadcasting, it was announced that KISR would drop its CHR format and flip to ESPN Radio as part of the statewide ESPN Arkansas network, with the former CHR format moving to AM station KFSA. The move expands its ESPN coverage throughout the entirety of Northwest Arkansas and Western Arkansas, and into much of Eastern Oklahoma, bringing clear signal coverage of Arkansas Razorbacks games and ESPN programming.[2]
KISR-HD2
On September 20, 2018, KISR launched an active rock format on its HD2 subchannel, branded as "Rock 94.1" (simulcast on translator K231BS Fort Smith).[3]
KISR-HD3
On September 17, 2018 (after stunting with Free's "All Right Now"), KISR launched a classic rock format on its HD3 subchannel, branded as "101.9 The River" (simulcast on translator K270BR 101.9 FM Fort Smith).[4] In December '23, the station became an affiliate of the syndicated Pink Floyd program "Floydian Slip".
