History

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on July 6, 1987. [2] The new station was assigned the KADV call sign by the FCC on August 26, 1987. [3] KADV received its license to cover from the FCC on June 6, 1989. [4]

KADV aired a religious radio format. [5] However, in 2011, due to financial concerns, Central Valley Christian Academy agreed to turn over KADV's operations to KARM, which is also owned by Adventist interests, under an LMA. [1]

On November 18, 2016, Central Valley Christian Academy sold KADV to Educational Media Foundation for $225,000. On November 22, 2016, KADV changed their call letters to KLXF and on December 1, changed their format to EMF's K-Love contemporary Christian format.
