The 94.5 FM dial postion belonged to radio station KFAT in Gilroy. KFAT signed on in the 1970's and played mostly country & bluegrass It also featured rock, blues, Cajun, big band, oldies, Hawaiian music, jazz, and whatever the DJ felt like. In 1983 94.5 switched to Top 40 KWSS. It later transformed to KUFX with a Classic Rock format.

KBAY originally became popular at its 100.3 FM dial position. It played an MOR (middle of the road)format also called "beautiful music". The morphosis from MOR to Adult Contemporary included contemporary jazz, then Soft AC. Today's KBAY is an upbeat AC station.

KBRG is a popular Spanish-language station that moved from 104.9 FM to KBAY's original 100.3 dial postion. KUFX (Clasic Rock K-FOX) moved from 94.5 FM to 104.9 FM and then settled at 98.5 FM the former position of legendary rock station, KOME. A new station, KCNL (Channel 104.9) signed on with a Modern AC format at 104.9 FM. KCNL later moved to Alternative Rock and enjoyed its best ratings just before being switched to Spanish. The current Spanish format has about one-third the listeners than its prior format had.
