It later became KOMP 92.3 The Rock Of Las Vegas. Other personalities included: Byrd, Craig Williams, Scott "So Hot" Jameson, Charlie Morriss, Freddie Woods, Mike Culotta and JD Pig. The station's request telephone line still uses its old slogan FM-92.

The show was originally 92 minutes, but expanded to 2 hours of 80's hair bands. On Sunday nights, Laurie Steele voices The Home Grown Show, a show playing material from up-and-coming local artists.

The now-deceased lead vocalist for Quiet Riot, Kevin DuBrow, co-hosted the morning radio show with long-time morning show host Craig Williams.
