The station is owned by Iris Media, with Zimmer Radio Group operating and managing KDVC through a local marketing agreement.

[3] At 12:01 am December 26 KDVC played "Faith" by George Michael (who had died the day before) as the official sign on of "98.3 the Dove".

Its license was canceled in 2001 after a years-long revocation battle triggered when station owner Mike Rice was convicted of sexual misconduct with underage boys.

After Rice's appeals on his criminal conviction and with the FCC were exhausted, KFMZ and all of its sister stations left the air on October 4, 2001.

To make way for the launch of KDVC, K-Love relocated to a former Zimmer Radio-held translator spot at 106.5 in September 2016.
