Classic Rock, USA

KXPT (97.1 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The station is owned by Lotus Communications and it airs a classic rock music format branded as "97.1 The Point."
KXPT's studios and offices are in the unincorporated community of Spring Valley in Clark County and its transmitter is on Potosi Mountain southwest of the Las Vegas Valley.

On 29 November 1961 at 11:29 PNST - Pacific Nevada Standard Time (UTC -8, UTC 19:29), the station first signed on as KORK-FM. At first it simulcast its AM counterpart, KORK (1340 AM). But by the 1970s, under Donrey Media, it had switched to a beautiful music format, playing mostly instrumental versions of popular songs. At the time, it could only be heard in and around Las Vegas, broadcasting from a tower only 65 metres in height above average terrain. But by the early 1980s, it got a boost in power to 50,000 watts and an increase in antenna height to 650 metres.
