[3] In the early 1990s, a construction permit was issued for a new station at 98.9 FM, to be licensed to cover the Sierra Nevada town of Columbia.
After receiving its broadcast license on August 30, 1996, KTDO officially signed on with a power rating of 6000 watts, primarily in the direction of Modesto.
After the sale closed, KTDZ flipped to a rock en español format branded as Super Estrella.
[6] KCVR-FM would use KNTY's airstaff during this time to voicetrack in key dayparts, while still airing local advertisements and weather reports.
The move ended a 13 year run of the Wolf brand, and short four-month run for KCVR-FM as "98.9 The Wolf", as KCVR-FM would adopt a full time simulcast of KHHM and its Fuego FM branding and Rhythmic CHR format, with a bilingual presentation on July 29, 2019.
