The station is owned by The Association For Community Education, Inc.^[1] and airs a Spanish-language Christian talk and teaching format. It is the flagship station of the religious radio network Radio Nueva Vida based in Camarillo, California.

History[edit]

KMRO[edit]

KMRO was first signed on January 19, 1987 by The Association for Community Education, Inc.^[2] KMRO is the flagship station of Radio Nueva Vida, a Spanish-language Christian talk and teaching radio network.

KEYQ[edit]

KEYQ first went on the air on October 14, 1957. It was purchased by Americom in 1967.^[3] From September 1992 to May 1993, the station held the call letters KFSO, after which it reverted to the KEYQ calls.^[4] In 1997, Jonna Hooker sold KEYQ to The Association for Community Education, Inc. for $200,000.^[5]

KGZO[edit]

The station signed on July 19, 1993 as KLOD; it was owned by High Adventure Ministries, Inc. KLOD changed its call sign to KGZO on April 5, 1996.^[6] In 1997, High Adventure Ministries sold KGZO to The Association for Community Education for $240,000.^[7]

KSDO[edit]

KSDO (1130 AM) first signed on in 1946 as KYOR (after originally possessing the call sign KFLH).^[8] It became KSDO in 1949, when it consolidated with KUSN, a daytime-only station on 1510 kHz, retaining the 1130 frequency.^[9] In the 1950s, KSDO was the only San Diego AM station with an all-classical music format. In the 1960s, the station was owned by Sherwood R. Gordon, and broadcast a beautiful music format; this changed to all-news in the early 1970s under the management of Lawrence E. Gordon.

From the mid-1970s through its flip to Spanish Christian talk, KSDO carried some sort of news, talk, or financial talk format, including carrying a mid-day talk show hosted by Laurence Gross from 1975 to 1983.^[10] It was also the flagship station of the San Diego Chargers during their "Air Coryell" years in the early 1980s. In 1996, Jacor Communications acquired KSDO from Gannett as part of a $300 million swap of six radio stations for WTSP-TV in St. Petersburg, Florida.^[11] KSDO was later owned by Clear Channel Communications, who divested the station to Chase Radio Properties LLC in 2000 as part of its merger with AMFM Inc.^[12] During this time, the station broadcast a business talk format. In December 2002, Chase Radio Properties sold KSDO to Hi-Favor Broadcasting, the for-profit arm of Radio Nueva Vida, for $10 million; the station flipped to Radio Nueva Vida programming yet retains its commercial radio license.^[13]
