History
[edit]KXFM first signed on December 1, 1964.[2]
On February 3, 2014, KXFM adjusted its previous classic rock format to mainstream rock, adding more recent songs and positioning itself as "Real Rock for the Central Coast".[3]
In May 2016, El Dorado Broadcasters sold KXFM to Point Broadcasting for $1.175 million.[4] Following the closing of the sale on August 31, KXFM flipped to rhythmic oldies, airing the "Old School" format found on Point sister stations KOCP in Oxnard and KQIE in Redlands.[5]
