KINX was a call sign used by Colorado Springs’ 101.9 MHz FM facility from 1976 to 1979. It followed KRYT-FM and preceded KKCS-FM. For part of the period, the AM/FM operation was paired with KXXV on 1530 AM.
History
The 101.9 MHz station began as KRYT-FM in 1967. It adopted KINX in 1976 and changed to KKCS-FM in 1979. The paired stations’ call letters later matched the KKCS identity used by the AM and FM services. This entry concerns the FM call-sign era, not the separate KINX-AM records that appear in some historical directories.
