History
On April 5, 1987, the station first signed on the air.[3] Its original city of license was Riverbank, California, and its first call sign was KPLA. It was owned by the KPLA Partnership, airing a Christian format. The studios and offices were in Oakdale, as they are now.
KPLA had a talk radio format from 1991 until 1993. It is the former home to conservative talk show host Geoff Metcalf. It later changed its city of license to Manteca, returning to Christian radio when acquired by Crawford Broadcasting.
