History

The station came on the air in 1991 as KAJO-FM, an FM simulcast of AM 1270 KAJO.

In 1992, the simulcast was discontinued, as the station became “The Leader” KLDR, with a more gold-based Adult Contemporary format. The first song played on KLDR was “Africa” from Toto. Within a couple of years after its launch, KLDR moved in the direction of Top 40.
