KFRG
KFRG (95.1 FM) is a commercial radio station licensed to San Bernardino, California, and broadcasting to the Riverside-San Bernardino-Inland Empire radio market. KFRG airs a country music radio format calling itself "K-FROG" and is believed to be the original "Frog" station under previous owner Keymarket. The brand name has been subsequently licensed by Keymarket to dozens of American radio stations.
Owned by Audacy, Inc., its studios are in Riverside and the transmitter site off Cloudland Truck Trail north of San Bernardino. KFRG broadcasts an HD Radio signal. Programming is also heard on KXFG Menifee at 92.9 MHz and on the HD-2 digital subchannel of KCBS-FM Los Angeles 93.1 MHz.
The station signed on in August 4, 1974 as KQLH. It had a Christian radio format and was owned by Channel Six Thirty Two, Inc. At first, its signal was limited, powered at 15,000 watts, less than a third of its current output.
In the early 1980s, KQLH was acquired by Keymarket Stations, which flipped the format to soft adult contemporary. It also carried news updates from the Mutual Broadcasting System. Due to strong competition from Los Angeles stations 103.5 KOST and 104.3 KBIG, also Soft AC stations, KQLH struggled in the ratings.
On December 25, 1989, Christmas Day, KQLH flipped to a country music format. The call letters were changed to KFRG to go along with its new nickname "K-FROG." Country music proved popular in the Inland Empire and K-FROG saw a big improvement in its ratings. In 1998, KFRG was acquired by the Infinity Broadcasting Corporation, which was later merged into CBS Radio.
On August 17, 2006, KFRG became the only country music station that could be heard in the Los Angeles area by default. LA's country station, KZLA, changed its programming format to rhythmic adult contemporary, leaving the nation's #2 market without a spot on the FM dial airing country music.
As a result of the void left by KZLA, KFRG briefly began showing up in the Los Angeles ratings. The station began focusing more on Orange County and Los Angeles area news and traffic. But on February 23, 2007, KKGO-FM 105.1 flipped from classical music to country, putting that format back on a full-powered Los Angeles FM station.
In 2009, KFRG and its simulcast stations joined the Motor Racing Network for coverage of NASCAR races, but left after the 2013 season.[1] Archived February 15, 2009, at the Wayback Machine
