History

KDUC first signed on June 4, 1986 in Barstow, California. Owned by First American Communications Corporation, the station broadcast a contemporary hit radio (CHR) format.[1] On July 7, 1995, First American launched KDUQ, a repeater of KDUC that transmitted from Ludlow, California to extend coverage along I-40 across the Mojave Desert east of Barstow. At the time, both stations carried a hot adult contemporary music format.[2] In December 1998, First American sold KDUC, KDUQ, and AM sister station KSZL to Pleasant Gap, Pennsylvania-based Tele-Media Broadcasting LLC for $875,000.[3]

In June 2008, Dos Costas Communications Corporation sold the rhythmic contemporary-formatted KDUC and KDUQ, as well as KSZL and KXXZ, to California Communications of Barstow, LLC for $4.3 million.[4][5]
