KVIV (1340 AM, "Radio Victoria") is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish-language Christian radio format.[2] Licensed to El Paso, Texas, it is owned by El Paso y Juárez Compañerismo-Cristiano.[3] It airs a mix of talk and teaching shows along with Christian music aimed at Spanish-speaking listeners in both El Paso and across the border in Ciudad Juárez.

By day, the station is powered at 1,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. At night, it slightly reduces power to 910 watts. Programming is also heard on FM translator K224FC at 92.7 MHz.

History

[edit]

The station signed on the air on December 3, 1949 (1949-12-03).[4] The original call sign was KSET. It added a sister station in 1958, 94.7 KSET-FM (now KYSE). For much of the 1960s and 70s, KSET-AM-FM simulcast a beautiful music format, playing quarter-hour sweeps of soft instrumental music.

KSET 1340 switched to KALY in 1984 and to its current call letters KVIV in 1988.
