History

KCLB 93.7 on the FM dial first went on the air as KCHV in June 1960. In 1974 KCHV (970 am) had a loosely regulated combination format that was news/talk in the morning, contemporary soft rock in the afternoons and evenings, and 100% album rock from 10pm-6am, during which time KCHV simulcasted with sister station KVIM-FM. Scott Roberts (later with KCNR, KPAM and KKRZ (Z-100) worked the late night shift at KCHV/KVIM and was the first disc jockey to play a free form Album Rock format in the Coachella Valley. However, Roberts did not receive Radio & Records reporting status during that period and thereby not officially noted as the first in this market to present the AOR format. Roberts left KCHV/KVIM in 1976.
