*Some stickers of X103.9, Riverside/San Bernardino
On January 1, 1995, KAEV in Riverside/San Bernardino, California, USA became KCXX and ended its simulcast with KACE by flipping to Alternative Rock as "X103.9", with the first song played being "Closer" by Nine Inch Nails (this matched WLUM's post-1995 programming direction).2015 marked KCXX's 20th (and, as it would turn out, last) year as an Alternative Rock station.
On December 21, 2015, KCXX announced it would end its alternative format the following morning after two decades, citing falling ratings and increased Internet music services for the reasoning behind the change. On December 22, 2015, at 7 a.m., after playing "Snuff" by Slipknot, KCXX flipped to Rhythmic Hot AC as "Hot 103.9." The first song on "Hot" was "Time of Our Lives" by Pitbull. The station changed its call sign to KHTI on the same day as the flip. An automated alt-rock format continued as a separate mobile app under the former X103.9 brand, but the mobile app has been removed from app store from Google and Apple as of May 2018.
