Former branding prior to the sale to Radio Lazer

In November 2016, translator 94.3 K232EW in Ventura was purchased from Southern California Public Radio for $40,000.[1] On November 15, 2016 the Federal Communications Commission granted a construction permit to move K232EW from Ventura to Apple Valley and change the frequency to 99.5 MHz with an accompanying change of call letters to K258DE.
