History
Radio Nueva Vida began broadcasting on January 18, 1987 after building radio station KMRO 90.3 FM in Camarillo, California. In 1996 additional full-service stations were added to the network to serve Bakersfield and Kern County (KGZO 90.9 FM) and Fresno and surrounding counties (KEYQ 980 AM). It added additional FM repeater stations, which cover the cities of: Salinas, San Bernardino, Santa Ana, Victorville, Indio, Palm Springs, Soledad, Los Banos, San Fernando Valley, Colton, Coachella, Desert Center, Lancaster, Santa Barbara, King City, Santa Maria and Redmond, Oregon.
In 2000 and 2001, Nueva Vida underwent a major expansion acquiring three full-power AM stations, all in California, that had been broadcasting in English. They were KLTX 1390AM (Long Beach/Los Angeles area), KEZY 1240AM (Riverside/San Bernardino and the Inland Empire), and KSDO 1130AM (San Diego). All three stations had been owned by major corporations, KLTX and KEZY by Salem Communications and KSDO by Chase Media with a joint sales agreement with Clear Channel Communications. The new stations are for profit stations which allows them to accept advertisements in order to help pay the cost of operation.
After Educational Media Foundation discontinued its affiliation with God's Country Radio Network, EMF switched most of the former God's Country stations to Radio Nueva Vida in November 2010.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“I believe that history might be, and ought to be, taught in a new fashion so as to make the meaning of it as a process of evolution intelligible to the young.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“My good friends, this is the second time in our history that there has come back from Germany to Downing Street peace with honour. I believe it is peace for our time. We thank you from the bottom of our hearts. And now I recommend you to go home and sleep quietly in your beds.”
—Neville Chamberlain (1869–1940)
“The visual is sorely undervalued in modern scholarship. Art history has attained only a fraction of the conceptual sophistication of literary criticism.... Drunk with self-love, criticism has hugely overestimated the centrality of language to western culture. It has failed to see the electrifying sign language of images.”
—Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
