History
KMRO
KMRO was first signed on January 19, 1987 by The Association for Community Education, Inc.[1] KMRO is the flagship station of Radio Nueva Vida, a Spanish-language Christian talk and teaching radio network.
KEYQ
KEYQ first went on the air on October 14, 1957. It was purchased by Americom in 1967.[2] From September 1992 to May 1993, the station held the call letters KFSO, after which it reverted to the KEYQ calls.[3] In 1997, Jonna Hooker sold KEYQ to The Association for Community Education, Inc. for $200,000.[4]
KGZO
The station signed on July 19, 1993, as KLOD; it was owned by High Adventure Ministries, Inc. KLOD changed its call sign to KGZO on April 5, 1996.[5] In 1997, High Adventure Ministries sold KGZO to The Association for Community Education for $240,000.[6]
EMF acquires Nueva Vida
In December 2024, the Educational Media Foundation reached an agreement to take over the Association for Community Education as its sole member, continuing its activities as a subsidiary. This will therefore result in the acquisition of its stations (including KMRO, KEYQ and KGZO) by the EMF pending FCC approval; the transaction will have no financial consideration.[7][8][9] The acquisition was completed on February 7, 2025.[10]
