 First in the spring KATM (The Kat) moved in with a similarly programmed station, while later in the fall, KKMG moved in with a Rhythmic Crossover leaning CHR.KIKX responded with KKMG moving into the market by leaning Rhythmic but would move back to a Mainstream playlist.However, KKMG became the dominant CHR in the market and KIKX bowed out of the format, and flipped back to a Modern Rock station in 1993 but keeping the KIKX calls and using "The Max" moniker.
