Since 2022, Los Gatos’ only full-power radio station has been known as “K-LOVE”. Bearing the call letters KJLV, the station is part of the portfolio of stations assembled by the Educational Media Foundation, a 501 (C)(3) not-for-profit organization.
The Educational Media Foundation was launched in Santa Rosa in 1982 by a former KFRC disc jockey named Bob Anthony Fogel. Now based in Rocklin, CA, the organization purchased KRTY from Empire Broadcasting for $3.1 million. Empire was winding down its business after the death of its longtime head Bob Kieve in late 2020. The sale of KRTY brought an end to Empire’s corporate life.
KJLV carries the Educational Media Foundation’s K-LOVE programming service, a mixture of Contemporary Christian music and religious ministry tied together under the slogan “Positive, Encouraging K-LOVE”.
The station provides two additional flavors of its programming on HD Radio channels: K-LOVE 90s and K-LOVE POP!
