The station is owned by Neal and Amie Preston, through licensee Asha Faith James Company. KRVQ-FM has been silent since June 23, 2016; prior to this, it broadcast a classic rock format. History
The station first signed on in 1992 as KVLI-FM, simulcasting the adult standards of its sister station KVLI. In June 1997, Robert J. Bohn and Katherine M. Bohn purchased KVLI-AM-FM for $240,000. The new owners flipped both stations to oldies that September. On September 23, 2011, the station changed its call sign to  and switched formats from classic hits to classic rock, branded as "The River". In August 2014, the Bohns sold KRVQ-FM, KVLI, and KCNQ 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 KRVQ-FM and KLVI 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. On June 23, 2016, KRVQ-FM went silent. Effective October 4, 2022, Alta Sierra Broadcasting sold KRVQ-FM and KCNQ to Asha Faith James Company for $250,000. References
