History

edit

This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on November 6, 2015.[2] The new station was assigned the KKCA call sign by the FCC on November 21, 2015.[3] KKCA received its license to cover from the FCC on December 31, 2018.[4] The station had a country format until 2021.

The call letters were changed to KVPM on June 21, 2021, after the station was acquired from Colt Comm, LLC by SHEMOGUL Media, LLC. A previous 2019 sale to American General Media failed to close.[5] After SHEMOGUL Media, LLC was acquired, KVPM switched from country to urban contemporary.
