KVYB

KMGQ and KIST would change hands again in September 1996 as Channel Islands Broadcasting sold the combo to Engles Enterprises for $3.5 million.

This prompted Clear Channel Communications, which also owned stations in the Santa Barbara market, to send Cumulus a cease and desist letter claiming infringement upon its "KISS-FM" trademark.

[2] On September 24, 2010, KMGQ changed its format from smooth jazz to classic rock, branded as "106.3 The Surf", and adopted the KRRF call sign.

[6][11] In 2011, KRRF was granted a construction permit from the Federal Communications Commission to change its city of license to Oak View, California and move to a new transmitter site in Ventura County.

The effective radiated power at the new site is 960 watts with the height above average terrain the same as at the former facility on Gibraltar Peak above Santa Barbara.

[12][13] KRRF filed for a license for the new Oak View facilities on March 13, 2013, indicating that it had begun operations from the new site.

[18][19][20] At the same time, the KRUZ call letters moved to KVYB's previous home at 103.3 FM, which was stunting with clips of 1980s events, movies, video games, and songs that hinted at the launch of a new format.
