| KSIQ had been broadcasting at 50,000 [[watt]]s in Brawley, but the move to Campo required the station to drop its power in half. The station began broadcasting to the San Diego area from its new main transmitter and booster on March 17, 2010, continuing its [[Contemporary Hit Radio]] format. Its moniker at the time, "San Diego's New Q - Q96," referenced San Diego's legendary [[KCBQ]], a popular Top 40 station in the 1960s, 70s and 80s. The main transmitter is located east of Lake Morena, just west of Campo. To better cover San Diego, a booster station was also set up, also on 96.1 MHz. It is located atop Mount San Miguel along with several other FM and TV transmitters, including those of television stations [[KUSI]] and [[KNSD]]. The booster is licensed for 700 watts [[effective radiated power]]. | KSIQ had been broadcasting at 50,000 [[watt]]s in Brawley, but the move to Campo required the station to drop its power in half.
