History

KVLI first signed on July 15, 1977. It featured a variety format that included top 40, middle of the road (MOR), and country music.[1]

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.[2] 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.[3] The penalty was later reduced to $6,000, and the sale closed in July 2017.[4]

gollark: I played it lots in my youth, pretty fun.
gollark: Modding works entirely through patching the really weirdly formatted data files (or in a few cases directly patching game data in memory, or something like that).
gollark: There are some infinite play mods, but they can't really do much to the gameplay.
gollark: It wouldn't be that difficult to fake a screenshot by just inspect-elementing an existing one and changing the image and timestamps, no need for you to actually reply.
gollark: The quality is probably not ideal, but I am not one of those "audiophiles" who actually notices differences in music at all.
