History

The station went on the air as KEVT on March 7, 1990. On January 11, 2007, the station changed its call sign to KCEE. On July 1, 2009, the station swapped formats and call signs with 690 AM in Tucson, becoming KVOI.[1]

In July 2018, Good News Communications agreed to sell KVOI to Bustos Media; the sale was consummated on October 31, 2018. Originally, Bustos wanted to launch a Spanish-language news/talk format after the sale is completed,[2] but decided to keep its English-language News/Talk programming with a new focus on local hosts. That meant removing syndicated talkers Dennis Prager and Michael Medved from its schedule.[3]
