History
Turlock High School obtained the permit for a new 10-watt educational radio station in town on December 19, 1975.[2] It began operation on October 4, 1976.[1] After 17 years, the high school sold the station off in 1993, with faculty advisor Bob Hoskins noting the school was more interested in starting a television production program. The Assyrian American Club bought the station for $17,000, fending off a rival bid from KADV (90.5 FM) in Modesto.[3]
