KLOA-LP (channel 6) was a low-power television station in Inyokern, California, United States. Because the allocation of channel 6 in NTSC fell approximately within the lower fringes of the FM broadcast band, KLOA-LP took advantage of the station's audio carrier, broadcasting on 87.75 MHz, and marketed itself as a radio station. It aired a Classic Country format under the moniker "87.7 Country Gold". According to the Federal Communications Commission, television stations must operate both the audio and video carriers; however, the carriers are not required to "accompany" each other, meaning that the audio and video can operate independently. This meant that KLOA-LP did not have to broadcast any particular image, as long as they broadcast a video signal.

History
KLOA-LP was originally K61AJ, a translator station on channel 61 owned by the Indian Wells Valley TV Booster, providing over-the-air reception of KTLA to Ridgecrest, California. On January 17, 2005, the station was sold to Roy William Mayhugh, who then moved the station to channel 6, under the call sign K06AJ. It is unknown what the station broadcast, or what the station's plans were during this time. On July 30, 2007, Roy William Mayhugh sold the station to Antelope Valley area broadcaster Robert D. Adelman. Soon after, the station converted operations to a radio station and flipped to a Spanish adult contemporary format. The call letters were changed to KLOA-LP on April 11, 2012.
After the FCC mandated the shutdown of all analog low-power television stations, which also included franken-FM stations, KLOA-LP signed off nearing the mandated deadline of July 13, 2021, with the website announcing its closure and inviting listeners to tune to sister station KGIL 98.5 FM in Johannesburg, California.[2][3]
