History

Radio Nueva Vida began broadcasting on January 18, 1987 after building radio station KMRO in Camarillo, California. In 1996, additional full-service stations were added to the network to serve Bakersfield and Kern County, and Fresno and surrounding counties. It added additional FM repeater stations, which cover the California communities of Salinas, San Bernardino, Santa Ana, Victorville, Indio, Palm Springs, Soledad, Los Banos, the San Fernando Valley, Colton, Coachella, Desert Center, Lancaster, Santa Barbara, King City, and Santa Maria, as well as Redmond, Oregon.In 2000 and 2001, Nueva Vida underwent a major expansion broadcasting in three full-power AM stations, all in California, that had been broadcasting in English. They were KLTX in Long Beach/Los Angeles, KEZY in Riverside/San Bernardino, and KSDO in San Diego, all property of Hi-Favor Broadcasting, LLC. 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. Unlike the majority of Nueva Vida's stations which are licensed as non-commercial educational, the new stations have commercial licenses, held by a for-profit arm of the organization, which allow 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 in November 2010, EMF switched most of those stations to Radio Nueva Vida.
