History
[edit]The station signed on the air on July 15, 1977. It featured a variety format that included top 40, middle of the road (MOR), and country music.[2]
In August 2014, Robert J. Bohn and Katherine M. Bohn sold KVLI and sister station KRVQ-FM to Alta Sierra Broadcasting, LLC for $300,000.[3] 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 KVLI and KRVQ-FM had no staff on premises.
The FCC agreed, levying an $8,000 fine against the Bohns in a consent decree.[4] The penalty was later reduced to $6,000, and the sale closed in July 2017.[5]
Effective July 6, 2021, Alta Sierra Broadcasting sold KVLI and the construction permit for translator K279CZ to Danny and Kait Hill's Hill Broadcasting for $25,000.
