Previously, KRQN had a classic hits format. On September 9, 2011, at 1:07 p.m., after stunting with clips of top 40 music and liners promoting that "the clock is ticking" and to "lock in a preset" and listen at said time, along with bell tolling sounds and people saying "I", 107.1 flipped to Top 40/CHR as i107-1, launching with Party Rock Anthem by LMFAO. With this move, KRQN will take on the market's more established Top 40/CHR, KZIA.
