At 10:20 a.m. on December 30, 2016, after playing "Don't Wanna Know" by Maroon 5 featuring American rapper Kendrick Lamar, KKHH began stunting with a robotic voice counting down from 2,957 to 0; at the same time, a message appeared on Hot's website, saying "We're making some changes to 95-7. Tune in at 12:30 PM to find out what." At that time, KKHH flipped to adult hits as "95.7 The Spot". The first song on "The Spot" was "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince. The flip returned the format to the market for the first time since May 2009, when KHJK flipped to adult album alternative. Much of the "Hot" airstaff was let go as a result of the format change, while Hot morning show co-host Sarah Pepper was retained and became part of a new morning show on sister station KHMX.
