KLXF (90.5 FM) is a non-commercial educational radio station licensed to serve Modesto, California. Formerly a full-time satellite of KARM in Visalia, the station is now the Modesto, CA affiliate of EMF's K-Love Christian Music network. It was previously owned by Central Valley Christian Academy, a Seventh-Day Adventist institution, but was operated by KARM owner Harvest Broadcasting under a local marketing agreement.[1]
This station received its original construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission on July 6, 1987.[2] The new station was assigned the KADV call sign by the FCC on August 26, 1987.[3] KADV received its license to cover from the FCC on June 6, 1989.[4]
KADV aired a religious radio format.[5] However, in 2011, due to financial concerns, Central Valley Christian Academy agreed to turn over KADV's operations to KARM, which is also owned by Adventist interests, under an LMA.[1]
On November 18, 2016, Central Valley Christian Academy sold KADV to Educational Media Foundation for $225,000. On November 22, 2016, KADV changed their call letters to KLXF and on December 1, changed their format to EMF's K-Love contemporary Christian format.
