01History

The station on 96.1 FM first signed on as KMVE.

In June 2008, High Desert Broadcasting began programming KMVE under a local marketing agreement with Coloma Mojave.

On January 1, 2009, High Desert Broadcasting swapped the frequencies of KMVE and sister station KCEL (106.9 FM). With the move, 96.1 FM assumed the KCEL call letters and began airing a regional Mexican format branded as "Radio Lazer 96.1". Later, the station rebranded as "Que Buena 96.1 FM".

In June 2011, Ventura, California-based Point Broadcasting, owner of High Desert Broadcasting, purchased Coloma Mojave LLC, licensee of KCEL.
