K-Love Classics was launched in June 2018 as an [[Internet radio|online-only station]] featuring classic [[Contemporary Christian music|Christian songs]] 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.
