History

In the later 1990s, the station was branded as "Eagle 106.3" with a rock format. By the early 2000s, the format had evolved to active rock as "106-3 KZZE". On August 3, 2015, at 12:00 pm, KZZE flipped to an adult album alternative format known as "106.3 The Valley" and changed its call letters to KYVL. The first song on "The Valley" was "New Frontier" by Donald Fagen [2] [3]

On January 8, 2023, KYVL changed its format from adult album alternative (which moved to its HD2 subchannel) to sister station KMED's news/talk format, with the sign-off of KMED's 1440 AM frequency. Its current translators began relaying KYVL's HD2 subchannel. [4] On January 11, the stations swapped call signs, with 106.3 assuming KMED.
