Translators
- KOAS operates an FM booster transmitter on 105.7 MHz in Henderson, Nevada. The booster, known as KOAS-FM1,[2] transmits with 2,500 watts of ERP. It provides the Las Vegas area with a stronger signal than the main transmitter located in Dolan Springs.
- K288FS, a translator of KOAS, serves nearby Pahrump, Nevada with a two hundred fifty-watt signal on 105.5 MHz.[3] K288FS is currently silent and has never been on the air.
History
The station's license began on August 1, 1984, under the call sign KCRR, which later changed to KFLG in November 1987, and KBYE in December 2000. Following these initial shifts, the station settled into the Smooth Jazz format, branding itself as "The Oasis" and adopting the KOAS call letters on August 14, 2001. [4][5] This format lasted until December 26, 2009, when the station shifted to Rhythmic Adult Contemporary, eventually evolving into Rhythmic Oldies branded as "Old School 105.7" in 2013, a move that was credited with improving ratings.[6] In June 2019, KOAS relaunched as Urban Adult Contemporary "Jammin' 105.7," focusing on R&B and classic hip-hop and adding The Steve Harvey Morning Show to its lineup.[7] The station's most recent change occurred on April 1, 2025, when it flipped to a Bilingual Adult Contemporary format, now branded as "105.7 Maxima," using the tagline "Para Nosotros" ("It's for Us") and featuring a blend of English and Spanish-language pop hits.[8]
