KLXB
KLXB (105.1 FM) is a non-commercial radio station that is licensed to Bermuda Dunes, California and broadcasts to the Palm Springs radio market in the Coachella Valley. The station is owned by Educational Media Foundation and airs that company's contemporary Christian radio format known as "K-Love". KLXB is also heard on a translator station, K247CL (97.3 MHz) in Indio, California.
The station first signed on in December 1996 as KYHT, originally broadcasting on 105.3 MHz and licensed to Yermo, California. Owned by Antelope Broadcasting, it simulcast KAVS in Mojave and its top 40 music format, branded as "Hot 97". When KAVS dropped top 40 in favor of a modern rock format, KYHT and KAVS rebranded as "High Desert Modern Rock 97.7 & 105.3".
In September 1998, Antelope sold its three stations — KYHT, KAVS, and KAVL — to Jacor Communications for $4 million. Jacor would be purchased by Clear Channel Communications the following year. KAVS and KYHT dropped their modern rock programming and began simulcasting the top 40 format of sister station KIIS-FM (102.7 FM) in Los Angeles part-time as "97.7 & 105.3 KIIS-FM". In the early days of Jacor/Clear Channel ownership, KYHT/KAVS featured local programming hosted by Chester The Arrester and held many on-air events in the Antelope Valley and Barstow areas. In early 1999, KYHT went off the air due to a windstorm that caused the transmitter building to buckle and become airborne; the station returned to the air after three days.
The grouping of KIIS-FM (102.7 FM) in Los Angeles, KIIS (1220 AM) in Santa Clarita, KAVS (97.7 FM) in the Antelope Valley, KYHT (105.3 FM) in Barstow/Victor Valley, and KFMS (101.9 FM) in Las Vegas created nearly continuous coverage of KIIS-FM between Los Angeles and Las Vegas. However, KFMS in Las Vegas was branded as "KISS" instead of "KIIS".
Following the Jacor/Clear Channel merger of 1999, KYHT moved its operations to 300 E. Grace Street in Barstow. The station began identifying as "105.3 KIIS-FM" and dropped KAVS's local programming, instead airing a local modern rock-intensive top 40 music format on weekends.
In 2001, KYHT became a part of Clear Channel's Victor Valley cluster and began simulcasting KZXY-FM (102.3 FM), airing a hot adult contemporary music format full-time as "Y 102 & 105". This flip prompted KWID in Las Vegas to drop its simulcast of KIIS-FM and switch to all-local programming. The building where 105.3 KIIS-FM's local studio in Barstow resided became a factory for Hydropedes Glycerin-filled insoles, and later a church.
In 2002, KYHT changed its call letters to KJAT and began simulcasting KATJ-FM (100.7), broadcasting a country music format branded as "Cat Country 100.7 & 105.3". In 2004, KJAT adopted the KRSX-FM call sign, airing an oldies music format syndicated by Jones Radio Network with the branding "Cruisin' Oldies 105.3".
In July 2007, KRSX-FM was one of 16 stations in California and Arizona which Clear Channel sold to El Dorado Broadcasters for $40 million.
