History

Previous branding

KDVA signed on the air in 1992 as adult R&B KMJK. KMJK was constructed as a docket 80-90 CP to facilitate minority ownership. The original licensee and architect was Arthur Mobley. KMJK was owned and operated by Mobley Broadcasting Incorporated and featured a variety of music, news/talk and sports. In 1994, the license was transferred by Mobley to Arizona Radio, Inc., an affiliate of Syndicated Communications Venture Partners (Syncom), a minority investment fund based in Silver Spring, Maryland, while Mobley maintained operating control.[3] On December 7, 2000, Entravision acquired both KVVA-FM and KMJK and combined the two into a simulcast for its "Radio Romántica" format.[4] In 2005 KDVA switched to a format branded as "Super Estrella" as part of the "Super Estrella" satellite network. In 2011, it changed to the current "Radio José" branding while maintaining a similar format.
