History

Denise M. White and Hanford Youth Services, Inc. applied for the construction permit to begin the process of building what would become KOAD on November 12, 2013. [7] The station received a License to Cover, allowing it to begin broadcasting, from the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on November 13, 2014. [8]

KOAD-LP signed-on for the first time on February 9, 2015 with a classic rock format. [3] This would bring English-language radio back to Kings County after 20 years. [3] After signing on, local entertainment promotion personality Joey Perez was hired by KOAD-LP for their morning show. [9] By 2016, plans were in place to regionally syndicate the morning show. [9] Other programming included a live, weekly sports show from a Buffalo Wild Wings location in Hanford. [10]

The station made regional headlines in 2018 when a photo, taken by morning show host Joey Perez, of Tom Cruise shooting scenes for Top Gun: Maverick at nearby Naval Air Station Lemoore. [11] Hanford Youth Services received the donation of KNBI in Monterey, California, and per FCC rules, had to request the cancellation of KOAD-LP's license on December 3, 2020. KOAD-LP ceased broadcast operations, but continued to operate over internet radio until April 2022, when the stream was flipped to KMBY Monterey. [12]
