    History

    106.5 FM started as KPRI in 1960 and broadcast an MOR-Easy Listening format with the slogan "Island of Capri" (K-PRI) ; Beginning in December 1967, it began airing a

    freeform format in the overnight hours (Midnight to 3:00 AM), which would become full-time by June 1968, and would later evolve into album-oriented rock
    by 1973.

    In January 1984, the station flipped to an Adult Contemporary format as KLZZ, "Class FM." KLZZ switched formats once again in September 1986, to classic rock as "California Classics", retaining the KLZZ callsign. The KLZZ calls are now used by a classic rock station in St. Cloud, Minnesota.

    On March 5, 1987, at 6 p.m., after KLZZ was purchased by Edens Broadcasting, KLZZ flipped to a dance-leaning

    Adult Contemporary. Q106 competed against KFMB-FM
    ("B100").

    Q106 enjoyed high ratings success, as the station was ranked #1 for 12 continuous ratings periods. However, in April 1990,

    mainstream Top 40 format by early 1991. In 1992, Edens went into receivership, as the company lost large amounts of money due to the fallout of WRBQ from competitor WFLZ-FM
    . Par Broadcasting, owned by local brewing company mogul Leon Parma, bought the station that year. Ratings slightly improved, but not to the unprecedented levels the station attained in the beginning.

    Hot AC
    as "Star 100.7" in June 1994) in April 1997 due to tensions between the duo and the new owners. In addition, the station shifted towards a more adult lean. The station's ratings still didn't improve.

    In July 1998, due to the Jacor/Nationwide merger and in order to meet ownership limits, KKLQ was sold to Hispanic Broadcasting Company, forerunner to today's

    Los Del Rio, and again redirected listeners to KHTS. KKLQ officially flipped to the new format on August 10 of that year.[3] The current KLNV call letters would be adopted on October 12, 1998. The KKLQ
    calls have since been reassigned to 100.3 FM in Los Angeles.

    In March 2016, KLNV rebranded as "Que Buena 106.5".

    Three years later, Univision placed all their radio stations into the Uforia mobile application and platform; this took effect on March 15, 2019.
