Station History
From 1985-1995 97.7 was KARS-FM which had a country music format some of which had remained in existence on KARS (AM) 860 long after the FM station dropped the format.
In early 1995 the station became KLVO "Radio Lobo" a Regional Mexican format. At the time of its launch there were no other Spanish language radio stations on the FM band other than the programming on public radio station KANW. "Lobo" faced more competition soon after its launch but had become the top rated Spanish station for many years. In November 2007 it moved to 106.7 FM but would fall to its competitor KJFA "La Jefa". Lobo ended on January 31, 2011 to make way for another station that also started on the same 97.7 frequency.

Famous quotes containing the words station and/or history:
“I introduced her to Elena, and in that life-quickening atmosphere of a big railway station where everything is something trembling on the brink of something else, thus to be clutched and cherished, the exchange of a few words was enough to enable two totally dissimilar women to start calling each other by their pet names the very next time they met.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
“For a transitory enchanted moment man must have held his breath in the presence of this continent, compelled into an aesthetic contemplation he neither understood nor desired, face to face for the last time in history with something commensurate to his capacity for wonder.”
—F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
