[edit] KLTX
For many years, it was KGER, owned by John Brown University of Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Its studios and offices were in Long Beach, California, which is still its city of license. In 1996, the station was sold to Salem Communications, which changed the call letters to KLTX ("K-Light"). Both versions carried Christian teaching and informational shows. In the KLTX years, the station also aired Michael Reagan's talk show. By 1999, KLTX broadcast half the day in English and the other half in Spanish.
In 2001, KLTX was sold to Hi-Favor, a programmer that specializes in Spanish-language evangelical programming, doing business as Radio La Nueva Vida. All English-language shows were removed immediately.
[edit] KEZY
KEZY simulcast KKLA and KLTX at various times in the 1990s and early 2000s under Salem Communications ownership until Hi-Favor purchased this station. In addition to religious programs and talk shows, KEZY carried Rancho Cucamonga Quakes minor league baseball games and high school football games.
[edit] KSDO
In the 1950's, KSDO was the only San Diego AM station with an all classical music format. From at least the 1970s through its flip to Spanish religious talk, KSDO had some sort of news, talk, or financial talk format. It was also the flagship station of the San Diego Chargers during its "Air Coryell" years (early 1980s). The station was formerly owned by Chase Media Properties and was also part-owned by Clear Channel Communications airing business talk. Chase Media sold KSDO to Nueva Vida and it became a Radio Nueva Vida station.
[edit] KGZO
The station went on the air as KLOD on 1993-07-19. On 1996-04-05, the station changed its call sign to the current KGZO.[3]
[edit] KEYQ
The station went on the air as KEYQ on 1990-01-12. On 1992-09-01, the station changed its call sign to KFSO and on 1993-05-03 back to KEYQ,[4]
