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 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 allowing it to go off the air due to difficulty with the landlord of their studio in Modesto.[1] 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.[2]
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.[3]
