As part of a major format shuffling involving four of iHeart Seattle radio stations, on January 19, 2016, at 12:00 noon, after playing "Whatever You Like" by T.I., KUBE's long-time Rhythmic CHR format and branding moved to lower-power sister frequency KKBW, displacing their Active Rock format (which would tweak to Alternative and move to KYNW). At the same time, 93.3 adopted KBKS's Mainstream CHR format, added in some newer rhythmic titles to the playlist (though it would later drop the rhythmic lean), and rebranded as "Power 93.3." New KPWK call letters took effect on January 26, 2016, the KUBE call letters moved to KKBW the same day.
KUBE (second era) (2018–2022)[]
2018–2022[]
On May 5, 2018, KPWK flipped back To Rhythmic CHR and revived the KUBE call letters and branding. KUBE played current hip hop and rhythmic tracks mixed in with some older hip hop throwbacks. Around late 2021, the station began leaning toward a Classic-leaning Rhythmic CHR reducing the amount of currents (though not to the extent of KXJM) and adding even more 1990s and 2000s hip hop tracks until 2022 when the format was dropped due to low ratings.
