History

This station received a construction permit on May 8, 1984. On September 12, the station was assigned the KNEF call letters, only to change to their current KPRZ calls on December 18. KPRZ signed on in the summer of 1986.

In late 2005, the station was put up for sale. On December 16 that year, it was announced that the Salem Media Group (through licensee New Inspiration), would acquire the station.[2] It was approved on December 22, and the sale was consummated on February 23, 2006.

In August 2018, KPRZ received a translator, using the serial callsign K291CR. [3] K291CR rebroadcasts KPRZ's programming to the North County area on 106.1 FM at 0.25 kW, the maximum power rating allowed for a translator.
