Owned by the Educational Media Foundation, it is an affiliate of the K-Love network, and airs its CCM music format. KKLM currently operates under a Class A nonprofit broadcast license.

Contents

KKLM's primary broadcast area includes the northern parts of San Diego County, and the Temecula Valley, with the transmitter on the valley floor. Due to the transmitter's location, it is also classified as being in the Inland Empire.

History

Origins

The Federal Communications Commission held a spectrum auction for the 104.1 frequency allotted to the Temecula Valley in 2009, an application was received on October 26. On June 27, 2014, the FCC awarded the construction permit to Audion Communications, LLC. [3] The station was assigned the KLZC call letters on August 3, 2015, only to change to the KRXC callsign on November 16 of that year. On July 13, 2016, Audion requested an extension to its permit, which was granted in May 2017. The anticipated sign on date was now set for spring 2018.

In October 2017, Audion put the under-construction station up for sale. The Educational Media Foundation proceeded to acquire it with the intent to finish construction and sign on the station the following spring. The sale was approved on January 11, 2018. [4] Shortly after the closure, the station received its current KKLM calls.

Early years

KKLM officially came on the air on March 9, 2018, airing CCM from the K-Love network, despite KLVJ and KKLQ already reaching the area. KKLM became the first new station to sign on since the 2000 launch of what is now KTMQ.
