Source-derived summary

KMXB (94.1 FM, "Mix 94-1") is a commercial radio station licensed to Henderson, Nevada, and serving the Las Vegas radio market. KMXB airs a hot adult contemporary radio format and is owned by Audacy, Inc. The station's studios and offices are located in the unincorporated Clark County community of Spring Valley, while its transmitter is atop an unnamed peak commonly mistaken for Black Mountain, part of the same McCullough Range.

KMXB broadcasts in the HD Radio format. Its HD2 subchannel carries Channel Q, an Audacy format of LGBTQ talk and EDM dance music. The HD3 subchannel carries a talk format branded as "101.5 K-Dawn", which serves as the continuation of the programming of the former KDWN and the originating station for translator station K268CS (101.5).

History

The station signed on the air on February 10, 1971. KXTZ was a beautiful music station from 1971 until 1994. The call sign spelled out the moniker "Ecstasy". KXTZ beat the market's easy listening music competitor KEER-FM 97.1, forcing that station to switch formats in 1984.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“KMXB” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, KMXB, adult and contemporary provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

The strongest evidence will usually combine a dated visual record with documents produced by the authority responsible for the place. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 11, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q6334014. Authority coordinates are 36.008, -115.006. 3 of 3 selected statements include explicit references; 1 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1971, 1994 and 1984.

Critical limits

A single description cannot reconcile every naming convention, rebuilding phase or administrative transfer associated with a place. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Treat names, boundaries and functions as historically changeable. Maps, plans, inventories and administrative records can clarify what the place meant at different dates.
