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. in april of 2008 kedg fm changed its format once again from hot ac to adult contemporary and on october 6 2008 brought delilah back to the central louisiana airwaves airing from 6pm to 11pm 7 days a week.
