Pueblo Broadcasters sold KYZX, KGHF, and KCSJ to Cy Bahakel's Colorado Springs Radio Broadcasters, owner of KILO in Colorado Springs, for $4.5 million in 1999.{{cite news |title=Changing Hands |work=Broadcasting & Cable |date=January 4, 1999 |page=76}} Later that year, KYZX swapped frequencies with KSTY in Cañon City and moved to 103.9; it also changed its city of license from Pueblo to Pueblo West.{{cite news |title=Construction Permit Activity |work=The M Street Journal |date=May 12, 1999 |page=3}}
KYZX continued its classic rock format as 103.9 The Eagle until October 31, 2008, when it adopted the 103-9 RXP moniker, changed the call letters to KRXP, and began a year-long transition from classic rock to alternative rock.{{citation needed|date=May 2021}} On April 29, 2021, the station rebranded as X103-9 with no change in format.{{Cite web|title=KRXP Rebrands As X103.9|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/207770/krxp-rebrands-as-x103-9/|access-date=May 5, 2021|website=RadioInsight|language=en-US}}
