History
[edit]The station first signed on the air on September 15, 1963, as KLOC.[2] It was founded by country music artist Chester Smith, who served as general manager. The station was a daytimer, required to go off the air from sunset to sunrise. Reflecting its owner, KLOC played only Country and Western music.
The station was acquired by Threshold Communications in 2001 for $400,000.[3] The call sign was changed to KVIN. It formerly featured programming provided from Jones Radio Network (Music Of Your Life)and Dial Global/Westwood One's "America's Best Music" until December 2013.
On November 10, 2022, Threshold Communications, licensee of KVIN, 920 AM, Ceres California; K222BX, 92.3 FM, Modesto, California; and K296HL, 107.1 FM Manteca, California, filed applications with the Federal Communications Commission for consent to assign the stations to Punjabi American Media, LLC.
