It specializes in current-based Hip-Hop and R&B hits, marking the first time since 2001 that the Las Vegas radio market had a Mainstream Urban outlet since KVEG shifted to Rhythmic Top 40 in 2002, and for whom they are targeting.^[2] On the same day it launched, rival CBS Radio flipped the FM portion of News/Talk KXNT-FM to Rhythmic Hot AC as "Q100.5" to serve as a flanker for sister station KLUC, whom "Real 103.9" is also targeting.^[3] By March 2019, "Real 103.9" began transitioning to a Rhythmic contemporary direction due to its focus on hit-driven Hip-Hop currents.
