History edit
The station began broadcasting in May 1990 and primarily focused on airing brokered Christian talk and teaching programs with music.[4] By 1994, about six hours of each day's 14 hours of broadcasting was locally produced.[5]
To prevent interference to Los Angeles station KNX, a 50,000 watt clear-channel station on adjacent channel 1070, KKVV lowers its power significantly at sunset.
