KQAV (93.5 FM, "Old School 93.5") is a radio station licensed to Rosamond, California and broadcasting to the Antelope Valley area. The station is owned by High Desert Broadcasting LLC, a subsidiary of Ventura, California-based Point Broadcasting LLC, and airs a rhythmic oldies format.

History

The station originated in a U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) construction permit granted in 1992 to KPXD at 93.5 FM, owned by Waremar Communications Inc. and licensed to Rosamond, California.[1] When KPXD finally signed on September 1, 1993, it adopted the call letters KLKX and a classic rock format.[2]

KLKX is the originating station of The Rockin' '80s, a nationally syndicated rock retrospective program. Hosted by station programming director Zander, the show is distributed by Envision Radio Networks.[3][4]

On March 9, 2015, High Desert Broadcasting merged the classic rock format of KQAV with the active rock programming of KKZQ (100.1 The Edge) into a new mainstream rock station, branded "100.1 The Quake".[5] KQAV simulcast KKZQ for five days, then stunted that weekend with a looped message directing listeners to the latter station at 100.1 FM. KQAV morning show host Gary Crewes moved to middays on the new KKZQ, while The Edge's Mitchell retained his morning drive timeslot.[6] On March 16 at 10 a.m., KQAV ended stunting and flipped to rhythmic oldies as "Old School 93.5". The Antelope Valley station is Point Broadcasting's third "Old School" outlet, following KOCP in Oxnard and KQIE in Redlands; [5] KQAV is a partial simulcast of KOCP.
