KNNW (103.1 FM, "103.1 Now FM") is a Top 40 (CHR) radio station licensed to Columbia, Louisiana and serving the Monroe, Louisiana area. It is owned by Mapleton Communications, through licensee Mapleton License of Monroe, LLC.
KQLQ was originally a rhythmic, billed as "103.1 The Party", until November 2009, when it changed to Top 40/CHR as "Hot 103.1". On September 16th, 2014, KQLQ began stunting with songs with the word "now" in their name (i.e. All Right Now, Who Can It Be Now?, Right Now, etc.), while running liners asking "is it now yet?" and to listen the next day at Noon. At that time KQLQ rebranded as 103.1 Now FM. The first song on Now FM was "Maps" by Maroon 5.[1] On October 29, 2014 KQLQ changed their call letters to KNNW, to go with the "Now FM" branding.
