History
The station signed on August 18, 1980, as KVVQ, a top 40 outlet owned by Kenneth B. Orchard.[1] The call letters were changed to KVVQ-FM in 1985.[2]
In November 1996, William Rice attempted to sell KVVQ-AM-FM to Power Surge Inc., headed by John Power, for $1 million. At the time, KVVQ-FM carried an oldies format.[3] However, the deal fell through. The following February, Rice successfully sold the combo to Tele-Media Communications Corporation for $1.1 million.[4] The new owner changed the call sign to KHDR-FM.[2]
In 2000, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation (predecessor to CBS Radio) acquired KHDR-FM from Tele-Media Broadcasting.[5] Infinity changed the call letters to KVFG'[2] and made the station a simulcast of KFRG, a country music station in San Bernardino, California. This lasted until February 16, 2010, when the station flipped to a sports format as an affiliate of ESPN Radio.[6][7]
On November 15, 2011, KVFG began stunting with Christmas music; the sports format was moved to KRAK in Hesperia, California.[8] On December 26 at 6 a.m., KVFG ended stunting and introduced a classic hits format branded as "103.1 The Route".[9]
On February 2, 2017, CBS Radio announced it would merge with Entercom.[10] The merger was approved on November 9, 2017, and was consummated on November 17.[11]
On May 6, 2019, Entercom sold KVFG and KMPS to El Dorado Broadcasters for $1 million.[12] The sale was completed on August 15, 2019, with the new owners simultaneously changing the station's call sign to KXVV. On August 26, 2019, at 6Template:Nbspp.m. the station flipped to a regional Mexican format, branded as "Template:Langr".
