It calls itself "Radio Punjab" and airs programming in Hindi and Punjabi aimed at the San Francisco Bay Area's South Asian community.
It is owned by Charanjit Batth, through licensee Radio Punjab AM 1310 Inc. Its transmitter is located in Oakland near the toll plaza for the San Francisco–Oakland Bay Bridge.
After Powell failed to make payroll for KFYI – having lost a reported $4-million in funding invested by Aetna Insurance in less than six months on the air – the station went silent on April 9, 1985.
It returned to air in July, however, having reclaimed its legacy KDIA call letters, while resuming its urban music format.
In 1992, Oakland journalist Chauncey Bailey returned to the Bay Area to work as public affairs director and newscaster on KDIA.
