KMXV

KMXV (93.3 FM "Mix 93.3") is a contemporary hit radio station based in Kansas City, Missouri, United States.

[4] In 1971, the station changed call letters to KWKI and returned to a country music format.

[11][12] In addition, their call letters were changed to KMXV (which were adopted on November 15, 1991), and the station shifted towards the growing hot AC format.

[15] However, KISF had a rimshot signal from the eastern part of the market (its transmitter was located near Odessa, Missouri at the time), while KMXV had a full-market, 100,000-watt signal, and a transmitter located within the city limits near the Truman Sports Complex, alongside most of the market's FM and TV stations.

[17][18][19] In the beginning, KMXV offered a heavily dance-leaning rhythmic Top 40 direction, but by January 1996, under the direction of new program director Jon Zellner, it had evolved to a more broad-based mainstream Top 40 approach that, at times, leaned towards modern adult contemporary/modern rock.

[20][21] By the Spring of 1997, Zellner led KMXV from 14th (a year earlier) to the #1 ranked radio station in Kansas City, a position it held three other times throughout the late 1990s and early 2000s.

To combat this, KMXV leaning more towards rhythmic content, while edging away from its long-time adult lean, and with sister station KCKC having relaunched its AC format with an upbeat approach in 2014, KMXV has moved more towards a current-based presentation in line with other Top 40/CHRs in the United States.

[34] KMXV produces an annual, day-long concert every year with the title "Red White and Boom".

Artists such as Ashlee Simpson, Def Leppard, Melissa Etheridge, Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, Jesse McCartney, Destiny's Child, Daughtry, P!NK, Nick Lachey, Bon Jovi, Jordin Sparks, and Lifehouse have performed.

The following year, it was also held at Starlight Theatre on July 5, where the show was headlined by Carly Rae Jepsen.
