It is owned by the University of Southern California and airs a classical music format as a full-time simulcast of KDFC in San Francisco. The station broadcasts in HD. History KXSC (104.9 FM) began in 1961 as KHYD, a 3,000–watt station operating from a house on Mowry Avenue in Fremont, California. The station call letters changed to KFMR in 1964. 18-year-old Bill Stairs was among the alumni of early days of KFMR who went on to a career as a DJ, program director and broadcast consultant in markets from Spokane, Sacramento and San Diego in the west to Boston and Chicago in the east. Another early DJ at KFMR was writer Timothy Perrin, winner of the 2007 Angie Award for best screenplay. Under new ownership in the early 1980s, KFMR changed to a religious format. In 1983, it became Spanish-language KDOS 104.9, as La Chiquitita with its studios in Fremont. By December 1983, the station adopted KBRG call letters that had been abandoned by another station earlier that year. In 1986, brothers Danny Villanueva and James Villanueva, owners of Radio América, Inc, Bahia Radio, purchased KBRG. The station became "La Nueva KBRG" from 1986 to 1992. The station continued the Spanish-language music and variety format and aired Oakland Athletics baseball games in Spanish, with Amaury Pi-Gonzalez as announcer. In 1989, EXCL Communications purchased KBRG 104.9 from Radio América, Inc and flipped to a Spanish AC format known as Super Estrella, the station was still licensed to Fremont, California. The format was rebranded to Radio Romantica in the mid 1990s. As the Hispanic population grew in the East Bay during the 1990s. EXCL was vying to find a stronger signal other than 104.9 which only covers the South Bay. On December 31, 1997 EXCL reached a deal with American Radio Systems, in a three-station frequency swap, EXCL's KBRG moved to 100.3 and 104.9 became KUFX. In August 1998, the station's owners (Jacor) changed the format to modern adult contemporary and the call letters to KLDZ. Six months later, the format and call letters were changed to new wave music/alternative rock classics KCNL, which was switched to alternative rock on January 15, 2001. KCNL's call letters were briefly changed to KMJO on October 14, 2005, and changed back to KCNL ten days later, though there
