History
The station first began regular programming in April 2012 as classic country station KCEG, operated as part of Mike Knar's SoCo Radio group.[3] In March 2022, the station, by then KJME, began carrying programming from the Educational Media Foundation (EMF) as the primary station for EMF-owned FM translator K243AM (96.5); the KCEG call sign and classic country format moved to 890 AM,[4] while KJME joined EMF's Air1 network.[5]
EMF agreed to purchase KJME from Timothy Cutforth for $70,000 in March 2023, becoming one of its few AM facilities;[4][5] the sale was completed in August 2024.[6] The station changed its call sign to KRNX on February 27, 2025;[7] the call sign was shared with Rye sister station KRNX-FM, which had changed from KWRY on February 13.[8] KRNX AM then became KLVG on October 3, 2025.[9]
