KKRG-FM (105.1 FM) is a radio station licensed to Santa Fe, New Mexico, covering the Albuquerque area and northern New Mexico. It is owned by Univision Radio and broadcasts a classic hip-hop format as "Yo! 105.1 Classic Jams". Its studios are located in Northeast Albuquerque (a mile north of Central Avenue and the transmitter tower is located west of Los Alamos, New Mexico.
Yo! originally launched on February 25, 2014 on 101.3. It moved to 105.1 on September 28, 2015.
Personalities on the station include Gina Lee Fuentez weekday mornings, Chuy Gomez middays, Eddie Go! afternoons, and Robbie Rob nights.
105.1 signed on in Fall 1985 as KIVA. The station had a Top 40 format that was first called "Kiva", but later rebranded as "Power 105" in 1987. By the end of 1989, the station would replace the local programming with a satellite delivered format called "The Heat" from Satellite Music Networks in Dallas, TX. After two years, the Top 40 format would be replaced by SMN's Z-Rock network, which played Hard Rock and Heavy Metal music.
Z-Rock had aired locally on then sister-station 1310 AM since 1988. In 1992, the call-letters of both stations were switched with 105.1 becoming KZRQ and the KIVA callsign moving to 1310 which had launched an Adult Standards format that April. It was around this time that Z-Rock would also begin to pick up more FM affiliates around the country under programming director Lee Abrams. While the format was national, there would be some local features on the station, as well as some local bands. Throughout 1995, KZRQ featured a local "night shift" program from 6 PM until Midnight. By the end of 1995, KZRQ was sold to Simmons Media Group.
