01History
The station signed on the air on July 15, 1977. It featured a variety format that included top 40, middle of the road (MOR), and country music.
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. 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. The penalty was later reduced to $6,000, and the sale closed in July 2017.
Effective July 6, 2021, Alta Sierra Broadcasting sold KVLI and the construction permit for translator K279CZ to Danny and Kait Hill's Hill Broadcasting for $25,000.
