The station is currently owned by Lotus Communications.[2] Its studios are located just north of downtown Fresno, and the transmitter tower is near Yosemite Lakes, California.
History
[edit]The station went on the air as KJDN on January 9, 1990. On September 14, 1992, the station changed its call sign to KMMM, and again on September 12, 2007, to KXOB, broadcasting a Spanish contemporary format as "107.1 Beso Tu Música Romántica".
On March 1, 2009, at 12:01 am, the station began broadcasting an automated countdown which was set to end on March 3, 2009, at noon.[3] During the countdown, the voice (most likely that of Microsoft Sam) could also be heard repeating lyrics, movie quotes, jokes, etc.
When the countdown ended on March 3, 2009, the station began broadcasting under the callsign KHIT-FM[4] as "107.1 K-Hits" featuring classic hits from the 1960s, 1970s, and some 1980s music.
On December 1, 2010, KHIT-FM began stunting with Spanish Christmas music, and on December 26, flipped to a Spanish AC format as Exitos 107.1.
