A decision was made to eliminate the rock format on KEGL as CC also owned The Edge. The Eagle was flipped in 2004 to make way for "Sunny 97.1", a 1960s to 1980s-based A/C format. The last song that played on the frequency as 97.1 the Eagle was "When Eagles Fly" by Sammy Hagar. The first song for "Sunny" 97.1 was "Here Comes the Sun" by The Beatles. Competing head-on with KVIL and sharing audience with KLUV, "Sunny" lasted about a year. From 1992-1996, the "Sunny" branding was once used on KSNN-FM (now KWRD) as a Classic country station. In 2005, KEGL became La Preciosa, a Spanish oldies music station, not to be confused with KDFT-AM's La Poderosa station. Competing against several lower-powered signals for the Spanish marketshare, KEGL's 100,000 watt signal soared to the top of DFW's ratings. After enjoying a fairly short ride near the top other stations took their toll on KEGL as a Spanish oldies station, mainly due to lack of local talent, etc.Recently, La Preciosa dropped its Spanish format and has started playing commercial-free Christmas music. Clear Channel announced that KEGL would return to an English format after the holiday season, and opted to bring the Rock format back to the air the morning of December 18, 2007. The station has reverted to its original branding of The Eagle.
