 Broadcasting returned to 102.9 FM when KQUE signed on the air with an adult standards format on October 1, 1960, co-owned by Dave Morris who also owned 1230 AM, KNUZ.The station, originally a "superpower FM" (running more than the 100KW ERP now allowed for top end FM stations) but was lowered to normal power after the tower was extended in the 1970s, was also known as "KQ 103" until 1997, when the station was purchased from its local owner, Dave Morris, by Robert F. X. Sillerman and his company, SFX Broadcasting.At 4 p.m. on March 19, 1997, the KQUE callsign and standards format were moved to 1230 AM, with 102.9 then flipping to KKPN, a Modern AC format known as "The Planet", under Steve Hick's Capstar Broadcasting ownership (the first song on "The Planet" was "You Oughta Know" by Alanis Morissette).
