History

The station first signed on October 23, 1991 as KBNN; it was owned by Nuevo Communications Inc. and broadcast a soft adult contemporary music format with frequent local news reports. [1] In May 1995, Nuevo Communications sold KBNN to Cruce Dun Spero Fido for $450,000. [2] On November 1, 1995, KBNN changed its call letters to KLVW. [3]

On January 30, 1997, Educational Media Foundation (EMF) purchased KLVW for $34,168; [4] the organization soon flipped the station to contemporary Christian music from its nationally syndicated K-Love network. The call sign was changed to KLVJ on May 19, 1997. [3]

On September 28, 2015, EMF announced it had purchased KPRI, an adult album alternative station licensed to Encinitas, California on 102.1 FM, from Compass Radio. KPRI began airing K-Love that afternoon. [5] On October 27, 2015, KPRI and KLVJ swapped call signs, with the 100.1 FM frequency becoming KPRI. [6] On December 14, 2017, KPRI changed its call letters to KKLJ. [3] In October 2018, the station flipped to EMF's K-Love Classics network playing a mix of 1980s, 1990s, and 2000s Christian music.

In December 2018, KKLJ switched to Radio Nueva Vida, a Spanish-language Christian radio network. [7] The station is now operated by Camarillo, California-based The Association for Community Education, but EMF retains ownership.
