(AM) to Rock of Talk LLC. IHR Educational Broadcasting later purchased the station, and began to air its Catholic radio format beginning in late September 2016. KQNM flipped to the Relevant Radio branding when IHR Educational Broadcasting and Starboard Media Foundation consummated their merger on June 30, 2017. FM broadcast 107.5 (2011-2013) In early May 2011, KRKE (then on 1600 AM) began airing on 99-watt FM translator K298BK (107.5 FM) in Sandia, and rebranded as "Cool 107.5". The station had previously been called "Real Oldies 1600". The station also changed its website to cool1075.com. The translator was owned by the Educational Media Foundation. This change put the station in competition with KABG, which airs an Oldies/Classic Hits format, mainly playing music from the 60s, 70s and 80s. For the first year or so, the station continued to focus on the traditional 1960s based oldies format it had aired since 2005, when the station was only heard on AM. Since mid-2012, it began to shift more to classic hits like KABG and most other FM oldies stations. 94.5 (2013-2015) A construction permit was granted to the station on April 18, 2012 to move to the 94.5 frequency and increase power to the class maximum of 250 watts. On February 14, 2013, the station moved to the new frequency as K233CG while re-branding as "The Greatest Hits KOOL 94.5", as well as completing a shift in the format to playing music from the 1970s and '80s, competing directly with KABG. "KOOL" was promoted as "Clutter-Free", featuring a music-intensive presentation without programming elements such as announcers, news, weather and traffic reports. KRKE, however, generated low ratings, and since July 2013, faced additional competition from KABQ-FM, which featured a 1970s-centric version of the format. In early 2014, the format had been shifting to focus more on music from the 1980s. On May 12 of that year, at 12:00 p.m., 1550 and 94.5 re-branded as "94-5 The 80's Channel" with an all-80s hits format, making it the first time this format has aired in the Albuquerque market since KKOB-FM dropped the format in late 2002. The last song on "Kool" was Hold On by Wilson Phillips, while the first song on "The 80's Channel" was Video Killed the Radio Star by The Buggles. Originally, the new format had a large emphasis on music from the New Wave genre from artists like Duran Duran, The Police,
