KNVO-FM (101.1
History
After being approved in 1989, KVPA began broadcasting April 1, 1993, from studios on South Padre Island and airing a classic rock format. It was built by Charlie Trub, who had previously built up KRIO and KRIX.[4]
The station was sold to Sunburst Media and then, along with three other outlets, to Entravision in a $55 million acquisition in 2000.[5] In 2003, KVPA's rhythmic contemporary hit radio format became KNVO-FM with a Spanish-language adult contemporary format under the brand Oye.[6]
The station was assigned the KNVO-FM call sign for the second time by the Federal Communications Commission on October 2, 2007.[1]
The station was known as José 101.1 until early 2018, when the station renamed itself as La Suavecita 101.1.[7]
