==History==
K-LOVELove Classics was launched in June 2018 as an [[Internetinternet radio|online-only]] station]] featuring classic [[Contemporary Christian music|Christian songs]] (CCM) from the 1980s, 1990s, and the early part of the decade of the 2000s, akin to the secular [[classic hits]] format.<ref>{{cite news |url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/169969/emf-launches-christian-classic-hits-k-love-classics/ |last=Venta |first=Lance |title=EMF Launches Christian Classic Hits "K-Love Classics" |website=RadioInsight |publisher=RadioBB Networks |date=August 15, 2018 |access-date=August 18, 2018 }}</ref> In response to popular demand, [[Educational Media Foundation]] (EMF) began airing the format over its nationwide network of full-power [[FM broadcasting|FM]] stations, low-power [[Broadcast relay station|translators]], and [[HD Radio]] subchannels. In August 2018, [[WLWX (FM)|WAIW]] in [[Wheaton, Illinois]] (a suburb of [[Chicago, Illinois|Chicago]]) became the first terrestrial radio station to broadcast K-Love Classics.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.insideradio.com/free/emf-places-k-love-classics-on-illinois-fm/article_0dcfc940-a17e-11e8-8df7-a714ac8fd08a.html |title=EMF Places 'K-Love Classics' On Illinois FM |website=Inside Radio |location=Atlanta, Georgia |date=August 16, 2018 |access-date=August 18, 2018 }}</ref>

More stations were added over the next several weeks, including in [[Palm Springs, California]] as well as subchannels of [[WLVU (FM)|WLVU]] in [[Nashville, Tennessee|Nashville]] and [[KLVB]] in [[Sacramento, California|Sacramento]]. For a brief period starting in August 2018, K-Love Classics was available in [[Los Angeles]] on [[KKLQ (FM)|KKLQ]]-HD3, but the following month it was replaced with [[Radio Nueva Vida]] programming. However, in August 2020, K-Love Classics came back to the Los Angeles airwaves on KYLA-HD3 and KYRA-HD3.
 
On November 2, 2020, K-Love Classics was discontinued; the network began carrying "K-Love [[Christmas music#Radio broadcasting of Christmas music|Christmas]]" as a temporary format, with the EMF stating plans for new programming to premiere in 2021.<ref>{{Cite web|title=EMF Shuts Down K-Love Classics|url=https://radioinsight.com/headlines/201114/emf-shuts-down-k-love-classics/|access-date=2020-11-14|website=RadioInsight|date=9 November 2020 |language=en-US}}</ref>
 
On January 1, 2021, the K-Love Classics network was divided into two new networks—"K-Love 90's" and "K-Love 2000's"—devoted to CCM from the 1990s and 2000s respectively. In September 2022, as part of the 40th anniversary of K-Love's launch, the EMF added additional internet radio stations devoted to CCM from the 1970s, 1980s, and 2010s, as well as the "K-Love Birthday Blend", which carries CCM spanning the network's 40-year history.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2022-09-16 |title=Industry News Bits Thu 9-15-22 |url=http://www.hisair.net/industry-news-bits-thu-9-15-22/ |access-date=2022-10-17 |website=HisAir.Net |language=en-US}}</ref>
