[edit] History

KEDG was originally a modern rock station branded as Modern Rock Edge 107 until 2000 when Edge 107 was replaced by an urban format as Kiss 106.9 Alexandria's # 1 For Hip Hop and R&B. Kiss 106.9 lasted until 2006 when Clear Channel sold its Alexandria cluster to Cenla Broadcasting and Cenla replaced Clear Channel's adult contemporary outlet KKST-FM Star 98.7 with the urban KISS format that had been on 106.9 KEDG-FM for 6 years. KKST-FM Star 98.7 was gone and replaced with KEDG-FM's Urban format, branding itself as 98.7 KISS-FM Alexandria's # 1 For Hip Hop and R&B. That of course didn't spell the end for STAR, because Flinn Broadcasting adopted the hot adult contemporary format on 106.9 branding it as STAR 106.9, The 80's, 90's & Now and ultimately Alexandria's STAR was reborn in a new home. It has since been leased by Opus Media Partners, L.L.C.
