[edit] History
In the late 1970s, 103.7 was KOZN-FM, playing a beautiful music format. On May 20, 1979, the call letters were changed to KJQY and the station was known as "K-Joy". The station evolved into an adult contemporary format, then in 1995 it became "Rock Mix 103.7" KMKX, playing classic rock music. On July 5, 1996 the call letters changed to KPLN and the station was known as "The Planet", still with a classic rock format. At that time, it was the radio home of Cindy Pace, now at 101.5 KGB, Jim McInnes, who now does the weekday 5pm to midnight news on AM 760 KFMB, Tony Martin, and Mike Dawson, is now the announcer for the Adam Carolla morning show.
On October 25, 2005, the station changed formats from classic rock to a FM talk format with the brand "Free FM", and their call letters changed on October 28 from KPLN to KSCF. In December 2005, Howard Stern left the terrestrial airwaves and moved to Sirius Satellite Radio.

[edit] Ratings
103.7 FREE FM's ratings dropped since switching formats from KPLN to Free FM. In fall 2005, (when 103.7 became Free FM), ratings were 2.2, mainly due to Howard Stern being the morning show host. But since the beginning of 2006, 103.7's ratings dropped in half to a rating of 1.1, due to a much less popular Adam Carolla morning show. The ratings later slipped in summer 2006 to a rating of 1.0.
