KPWR-HD subchannels KPWR broadcasts in HD Radio with two subchannels: KPWR-HD1 is a digital simulcast of the analog signal. KPWR-HD2 airs classic hip hop, simulcasting KDAY. KPWR launched a Spanish-language HD2 subcarrier channel called "Power Dos" in August 2006. A press release from Emmis describes the new channel as a "bilingual and musically extended version" of KPWR. Power Dos left the air in 2008 due to a lack of interest. On August 29, 2008, Emmis announced a programming partnership with WorldBand Media, using KPWR's HD3 signal to produce programming for the South Asian communities in three major cities including Los Angeles. This content began airing in mid-October 2008, and by mid-2009 moved to HD2, replacing Power Dos. Awards In September 2011, Power 106 was named Large Market CHR Radio station of the year and awarded the Marconi Award at the National Association of Broadcasters convention in Chicago, and was nominated in 2012 for Major Market Station of the Year by the NAB.
