This is a summary of significant events in music in 1993. Events January
By January 2005, the station had woven in non-R&B/hip hop artists such as Natalie, Baby Bash, NB Ridaz and Gwen Stefani to the mix, resulting in a return to rhythmic contemporary hit radio. Natalie (born Natalie Nicole Alvarado on September 2, 1979) is an American R&B singer and songwriter Ronnie Ray Bryant (born on October 18, 1975 in Vallejo California, U NB Ridaz formerly known as NBK Overview It all started with M Gwen Renée Stefani (born October 3 1969 (ˈgwɛn stɛˈfɑːni is an American recording artist and Fashion designer Stefani fronts the rock band No Doubt Rhythmic contemporary, also known as rhythmic top 40, rhythmic contemporary hit radio or rhythmic crossover, is a music Radio format that The move may have been a response to a change in directions at rival station KIIS, which was programming Top 40 hits, until they started a shift towards a Rhythmic lean, since the market itself is heavily hispanic and tends to favor this genre. KIIS-FM (1027 FM "1027 KIIS-FM" is a Los Angeles California, USA-based Radio station with a rhythmic-leaning Top 40 musical format
KPWR picked up additional competition in May 2005 when KXOL dropped their Spanish adult contemporary format for a Hispanic Rhythmic, or hurban, format known as "Latino 96. Hispanic rhythmic, also known as Hispanic urban or " Hurban " is an American radio and format genre that features a Spanish-language Hurban is a relatively new radio programming format from radio chain giant Clear Channel Communications and Senior VP Alfredo Alonso. 3". The format is a crossover mix of Hispanic hip hop, reggaeton, dancehall, and R & B/hip hop targeting a bilingual audience.

Spanish Broadcasting System Inc ( NASDAQ: SBSA is one of the largest owners and operators of Radio stations in the United States. SBS switched formats anyway, and Emmis filed a lawsuit to force SBS to either drop the format switch or find a new transmitter. SBS announced that KXOL would move to another transmitter site a month later, and both parties settled the dispute sometime after.
Shortly after the debut of Latino 96. 3, KPWR replaced the majority of their non Latino dj's with personalities of Latino descent who often pepper their broadcasts with Spanish words, in an effort to regain some of the audience lost to Latino 96. 3. Today Big Boy and Fuzzy Fantabulous (both African-American) remain as the only non-Latino personalities at the station. Big Boy is a radio host currently heard on Los Angeles hip hop / R&B station KPWR ( Power 106) and Tijuana Baja California
On August 17, 2006, KPWR's Country music sister station KZLA flipped directions to Adult Rhythmic Contemporary as "Movin' 93.

Despite their on air slogan of "Where Hip Hop Lives", KPWR continues to claim to potential advertisers that its true format is Rhythmic Contemporary Hit Radio. Rhythmic contemporary, also known as rhythmic top 40, rhythmic contemporary hit radio or rhythmic crossover, is a music Radio format that Station management resists the R&B/Hip-Hop format label in part because of its Hispanic audience – and because Top 40 stations attract more advertising than stations on the R&B/Hip-Hop reporting panels (It should be noted that KPWR was a reporter to the Billboard Radio Monitor R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay panel from 1997 to 2005). Hip hop is a cultural movement which developed in New York City in the 1970s primarily among African Americans and Latinos.

KSWD (1003 FM, "1003 The Sound" is a Bonneville International -owned Radio station licensed to Los Angeles California Other stations in the market have other primary interests; KIIS plays Top 40 music, KXOL has their hurban format, and KDAY does not cover the market in full (KDAY/KWIE broadcasts from two separate Class A transmitters in Torrance and Ontario that are limited in signal range vs KPWR's Class B; ironically KDAY had shifted back to Rhythmic in July 2007, only to return to Urban a few weeks later).

Their program includes regular shows such as the Pocos Pero Locos radio show, which showcases Latin Hip Hop music, and is nationally syndicated to 40+ markets including New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Dallas and Houston.
Although they had moved away from the Dance music scene and at times are criticized for abandoning it in favor of pleasing the Hip-Hop crowd, KPWR continues to support the genre through the program "Power Tools", produced by Gerry Meraz and hosted by Richard Vission.

Big Boy is a radio host currently heard on Los Angeles hip hop / R&B station KPWR ( Power 106) and Tijuana Baja California The Baka Boyz were moved to afternoons, before being dropped by Power and moving to KKBT in 1999, where they would only last several months before KKBT switched genres.

XMOR, whose official call letters are XHMORE but known on-air as Blazin' 98 9 FM"), a Rhythmic Top 40 radio station with the same format as Power 106.
