KXOK-LP was a community-aimed Urban Contemporary LPFM radio station serving Modesto, California, broadcasting on 107.9 FM.
Originally licensed as KPSR-LP, it was Modesto's only true Urban formatted radio station playing Hip Hop, R&B, Old School, Classic soul and Gospel music, catering to the mainstream and adult audiences in the relatively demographically small African American community. (KHTN also plays Hip Hop and R&B, but it carries a Rhythmic format.) In addition, it carried community affairs programs and had planned to air local church services.
KPSR-LP filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on February 7, 2014, for a Special Temporary Authorization (STA) allowing it to go off the air due to difficulty with the landlord of their studio in Modesto.[2] A subsequent attempt by several local business people to revive the station as KXOK-LP, playing Oldies But Goodies music (as part of Modesto's annual "Graffiti Festival" program) was rejected by the FCC.[3]
The station's call letters were removed from the FCC database on January 11, 2015 after the station was unable to provide proof that they had not been off-air for over a year. A subsequent request to reverse the call-letter removal (and license cancellation) was rejected by the FCC on June 30, 2016.[4]
