Magic FM is one of the most popular and recognized radio stations in Southern Colorado.

In fall 1988, KKMG moved its office and studios into the Colorado Springs area.

To coincide with the move to Colorado Springs, KKMG switched to a Churban format (CHR-Urban).

Despite its good ratings, KKMG lost money, and entered a Lease marketing agreement with classic rocker KKFM in 1991.

[3] KKMG dominated the radio ratings in Colorado Springs until 2004 when KIBT signed on with a Rhythmic Top 40 format.
