History[]

The 90.3 frequency in Coachella was first assigned the call sign 970324MA as a rebroadcasting station in 1997.

The call sign was changed to KBXO on February 18, 2003, as its owner readied it to become a fully licensed radio station. In 2004, the station was bought by the Family Worship Center of Baton Rouge, Louisiana for a Christian radio format.^[2]

The station was sold to the Creative Educational Media Corp. in June, 2008.^[3]

On August 22, 2008, the Christian format was dropped and the station started acting as a satellite for KPCC. The call sign was changed to KPCV with the change in format. The call sign was changed again on October 14, 2011, to the current KVLA-FM.
