KXVV (103.1 FM, "La X 103.1") is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Victorville, California and serves the Victor Valley area. The station is owned by El Dorado Broadcasters and broadcasts a regional Mexican format. KXVV's studios and transmitter are located in Hesperia.

History

The station signed on August 18, 1980, as KVVQ, a top 40 outlet owned by Kenneth B. Orchard.^[2] The call letters were changed to KVVQ-FM in 1985.^[3]

In November 1996, William Rice attempted to sell KVVQ-AM-FM to Power Surge Inc., headed by John Power, for $1 million. At the time, KVVQ-FM carried an oldies format.^[4] However, the deal fell through. The following February, Rice successfully sold the combo to Tele-Media Communications Corporation for $1.1 million.^[5] The new owner changed the call sign to KHDR-FM.^[3]

Logo for KVFG as ESPN Radio from 2010 to 2011.

In 2000, Infinity Broadcasting Corporation (predecessor to CBS Radio) acquired KHDR-FM from Tele-Media Broadcasting.^[6] Infinity changed the call letters to KVFG'^[3] and made the station a simulcast of KFRG, a country music station in San Bernardino, California. This lasted until February 16, 2010, when the station flipped to a sports format as an affiliate of ESPN Radio.^[7]^[8]

On November 15, 2011, KVFG began stunting with Christmas music; the sports format was moved to KRAK in Hesperia, California.^[9] On December 26 at 6 a.m., KVFG ended stunting and introduced a classic hits format branded as "103.1 The Route".^[10]

On February 2, 2017, CBS Radio announced it would merge with Entercom.^[11] The merger was approved on November 9, 2017, and was consummated on November 17.^[12]

On May 6, 2019, Entercom sold KVFG and KMPS to El Dorado Broadcasters for $1 million.^[13] The sale was completed on August 15, 2019, with the new owners simultaneously changing the station's call sign to KXVV. On August 26, 2019, at 6 p.m. the station flipped to a regional Mexican format, branded as "La X 103.1".
