KIDI-FM (105.1 MHz, "La Buena") is a commercial FM radio station that is licensed to Lompoc, California, United States and serves the Santa Maria-Lompoc area. The station is owned by Emerald Wave Media and broadcasts a Spanish contemporary radio format.

History[edit]

The station first signed on in 1999 as KAOH, then changed its call letters to KWSZ the following year.^[1]^[2]^[3] In 2002, Coast West Broadcasting sold the station to New Century AZ LLC for $900,000.^[4]

On July 1, 2006, under new ownership by Emerald Wave Media, KWSZ flipped from adult hits to Spanish contemporary with the branding "Concierto 105.1 FM".^[5]^[6] A matching call sign, KRTO, was assigned by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission on July 18.^[3]

On September 28, 2007, KWSZ adopted the KIDI-FM call sign, which previously had been used at the 105.5 FM frequency before it was abandoned by Emerald Wave Media.^[3]

Transmission issues[edit]

On January 18, 2010, high winds in the Point Sal area caused a power outage that knocked the KIDI-FM transmitter off the air. Power to the transmitter was restored the same day, allowing KIDI-FM to resume broadcasting.^[7]
