History

The station first signed on September 1, 2002 as KLFF. The commercial station, owned by Jerry J. Collins, broadcast a Christian talk and teaching format and was branded "K-Life".[1]

After years of financial difficulties, KLFF went off the air on November 1, 2012. Collins, who had been leasing the station to the previous management, donated the station's license to IHR Educational Broadcasting. The tangible property was transferred for $1 and the station was converted to non-commercial status. On January 1, 2013, IHR assumed control of KLFF and changed its call letters to KIHC;[2] the company's Roman Catholic talk and teaching format began airing four days later. The donation was consummated on March 26, 2013.

KIHC rebranded as Relevant Radio when IHR Educational Broadcasting and Starboard Media Foundation consummated their merger on July 3, 2017.[3]

gollark: Correction: is delaying its release
gollark: The author refuses to release a bugfix they have already written as they were not paid enough on patreon.
gollark: I mean, "properly" is kind of subjective, but I assume it's mostly agreed upon.
gollark: Go's type system literally cannot express `map`/`filter`/`reduce` properly.
