History

105.5 FM

105.5 FM was formerly KNAC, a heavy metal music station until February 15, 1995, after the station was sold to Liberman, a Spanish-language broadcasting company. It acquired the KBUE call letters a few weeks later on March 6. KBUE's weak signal only reached the southern portion of Los Angeles County and northwestern Orange County. The format was "Ranchera Mexican style," said program director Fidel Fausto.

The Long Beach-based 105.5 frequency made its debut in 1961. The station was signed on as KLFM by Harriscope Broadcasting. Its studios were initially located in a trailer adjacent to its transmitter on Signal Hill, moving to Lakewood Center and then to 4406 Greenmeadow Road. Its initial programming was top 40 in a period where FM was broadcasting almost entirely beautiful music and classical music.
