KIIS-FM censors songs substantially more, and more obviously, than its counterparts, Power 106 and 100.3 The Beat. This is almost always done to hip-hop songs, and as much as several seconds can be cut off. This more substantial censorship began in 2004, perhaps as a part of the heightened scrutiny of media content following the "Nipplegate" incident at the 2004 Super Bowl.
