Radio Stations

How much time have you wasted on vacations, desperately scrolling through the radio dial of your rental car, which seems to be mysteriously pre-tuned to an Icelandic vegetarian cookery show and '80s techno, and trying to find something you actually want to listen to? No more! Here's a handy list of the principal Vegas radio stations, with our personal observations, where we have any to make. Print it out and keep it handy for your next trip.

Frequency Call Sign Notes
88.1 KCEP "POWER 88" FM A publicly-funded community radio station established in 1974, POWER 88 plays contemporary hits in R&B, hip hop, and rap, and broadcasts NPR news 24/7.
88.9 KNPR Nevada Public Radio broadcasts a range of local-interest shows, plus cultural, political, and economic features, and national and international news coverage, including from the BBC World Service.
89.3 KHRI "AIR 1" Christian radio
89.7 KCNV Nevada Public Radio classical music station
90.5 KILA Christian Radio
91.5 KUNV Monday to Friday features classic jazz, while weekends feature an eclectic assortment of Hawaiian, Latin, reggae, blues, folk, world, and specialty music programs. Commercial-free.
92.3 KOMP A rock station delivering all you'd expect from a rock station: rock music, in all its incarnations -- old, new, classic, and alternative -- presented by DJs who range from the hilariously irreverent to the cringingly crass.
92.7 KRRN Spanish language pop (Shakira, Juanes etc.)
93.1 KQOL "The Party" Another pop and dance music station
94.1 KMXB "MIX" FM Top 40 hits (from Chili Peppers to Gnarls Barkley via KT Tunstall and Nickelback)
95.5 KWNR "New Country" New and old-time classic country music hits
96.3 KKLZ Yet another classic hits station (formerly classic rock).
97.1 KXPT "THE POINT" Classic and soft rock. Usually has a decent playlist.
97.5 KVEG R&B/hip hop
98.5 KLUC R&B/hip hop
99.3 KRGT Spanish language radio
100.5 KKJJ "JACK" FM Robot station. Boasts an eclectic playlist, which generally holds true: While other stations only plays "Should I Stay Or Should I Go", for example, JACK might opt for "London's Calling." Or even "Singin' in the Rain". No news, no traffic. But kinda smug.
101.9 KWID Spanish language adult hits (Jose Feliciano, La Maquina)
102.7 KSTJ '80s, ‘90s, and now (Bon Jovi, No Doubt, Aerosmith, Madonna)
103.5 KISF Mexican regional radio
104.3 KCYE "THE COYOTE" Today's country music
104.7 KJUL Oldies and crooners (Tony Bennett, Frank Sinatra)
105.1 KQRT Regional radio
105.7 KOAS “THE OASIS” Smooth jazz/easy listening, i.e., ranges from the seriously funky to elevator music. It's a lucky dip.
106.5 KSNE "SUNNY FM" Soft (to the point of mushy) rock and tear-jerker phone-ins
107.5 KXTE "XTREME ROCK RADIO" Contemporary alternative rock/heavy metal (think Tool, Audioslave, Godsmack, Muse)
107.9 KVGS "AREA 108" FM Alternative rock/indie/reggae/punk/new wave, and local bands
