The station first signed on the air in 1992 . The station started as KKLB ("Club 92") with a Spanish-language contemporary hits format. In the early 2000s, KKLB switched to Spanish Oldies as La Lupe 92.5 FM, but kept the KKLB call sign.
On February 23, 2007, the call letters were changed from KKLB to KXXS as part of a format switch to Spanish pop-formatted "Digital 92.5". "La Lupe" moved to KXTZ 1560 AM.
Digital 92.5 lasted until November 2, 2009. The format changed formats to sports radio, simulcasting KTTX 104.9 FM.
On November 30, 2009, KXXS split from the KTTX simulcast and changed formats to oldies, with programming from Scott Shannon's "True Oldies Channel."
On August 15, 2011, KXXS began simulcasting its oldies sound on 98.9 FM, KXBT. On September 3, 2011, the True Oldies format ended on KXXS, switching top KXBT. KXXS switched to Spanish-language sports as an ESPN Deportes Radio affiliate.
On July 2, 2012, the station again changed its call sign, this time to KVLR and changed to EMF's K-LOVE Contemporary Christian format as a result of a sale to Educational Media Foundation.
