KTRB obtained permission from the FCC to move to San Francisco, California and has aired a classic rock music format during transmission tests. KTRB signed on the air to conduct those tests on February 1, 2007.
The station's owner, Pappas Telecasting, established KMPH at AM 840 in Modesto to replace the moved station. It signed on late in 2006.
