History

KGDP-FM first signed on in 2003.[1] Originally, KGDP-FM and its sister station, KGDP (660 AM) in Oildale, California, were owned and operated by the group People of Action, through licensee Radio Representatives, Inc. The FM station operated under the moniker "Bread of Life 90.5 FM".

The station changed its call letters to KRVC on February 17, 2006; however, it switched back to the KGDP-FM calls on September 25.[2]

In August 2008, People of Action declared bankruptcy,[citation needed] which led to KGDP-AM-FM ceasing operations on August 31, 2008. On September 14, 2009, People of Action sold KGDP-FM to Family Life Broadcasting, Inc. for $130,000. The new owners began operating the station immediately via a local marketing agreement, flipping it to the Family Life Radio network.[3] (In a separate transaction, the AM station was sold to Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa for $120,000 and simulcast KWVE-FM in San Clemente, California until it was sold again in 2016.)
