 In October 2011, KROI flipped to an all-news format; however, by October 2014, plagued by poor ratings and large financial losses, Radio One flipped KROI back to a music-oriented format with the launch of "Boom 92"—a format focusing on classic hip-hop music.Initially successful, the classic hip-hop format soon faced sagging ratings, leading Radio One to revert the station to its original top 40 format in January 2017.The station is the Houston affiliate for the syndicated Kidd Kraddick Morning Show.
