Perspective
The station first signed on in 1992 as KVLI-FM, simulcasting the adult standards of its sister station KVLI.[2] In June 1997, Robert J. Bohn and Katherine M. Bohn purchased KVLI-AM-FM for $240,000.[3] The new owners flipped both stations to oldies that September.[4]
On September 23, 2011, the station changed its call sign to KRVQ-FM and switched formats from classic hits to classic rock, branded as "The River".
In August 2014, the Bohns sold KRVQ-FM, KVLI, and KCNQ to Alta Sierra Broadcasting, LLC for $300,000.[5] However, the transaction triggered a complaint to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) which held up the deal for three years. Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa, licensee of KWVE-FM, alleged that a time brokerage agreement (TBA) between the sellers and Alta Sierra constituted an unauthorized transfer of control because KRVQ-FM and KLVI had no staff on premises. The FCC agreed, levying an $8,000 fine against the Bohns in a consent decree.[6] The penalty was later reduced to $6,000, and the sale closed in July 2017.[7]
On June 23, 2016, KRVQ-FM went silent.[8]
Effective October 4, 2022, Alta Sierra Broadcasting sold KRVQ-FM and KCNQ to Asha Faith James Company for $250,000.
