[edit] History
The station went on the air as Country formatted KDOL in the 1960s, later changing call letters to KVOY on 1987-07-15 with the same format. On 1998-12-11, the station changed its call sign to KAVC and the Christian Talk format was moved to 1340 AM from 105.5 FM. On 2002-12-01, the station's call letters were changed to KTPI and the station flipped to an automated Classic Country format as 1340 KTPI AM which complemented Country Hits 103.1 KTPI FM. In early 2003, the station changed names to Community Radio 1340 which included a morning show that discussed local politics and events, but still aired an automated Classic Country format the rest of the time. In mid 2004, after KWJL 1380 in Lancaster, California dropped the Adult Standards/MOR in favor of Mexican Oldies, KTPI took the old name and format and became K-Jewel 1340 for a brief time. A few months later the station's name was changed to Magic 1340 still with an Adult Standards/MOR format.
