The FCC's initial policy was that both the original station and its expanded band counterpart could operate simultaneously for up to five years, after which owners would have to turn in one of the two licenses, depending on whether they preferred the new assignment or elected to remain on the original frequency. Ī Construction Permit for the expanded band station was assigned the call letters KSXX (now KFSG) on November 17, 1997. On March 17, 1997, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) announced that 88 stations had been given permission to move to newly available ' Expanded Band' transmitting frequencies, ranging from 1610 to 1700 kHz, with KRCX authorized to move from 1110 to 1690 kHz. On June 23, 1980, the call sign was changed to KPIP, and on January 24, 1984, the call letters became KRCX. The station was first licensed in 1968 as KPOP, located in Roseville and using 500 watts on 1110 kHz. The transmitter's broadcast power is 5,000 watts daytime, 500 watts nighttime.
The station broadcasts to the Asian community, and is owned by Multicultural Radio Broadcasting. KLIB (1110 AM) is a radio station that broadcasts from Roseville, California, and serves Sacramento.
