History edit
KVCP operated the programming during daytime hours from 5AM to 7:30PM, with the remaining hours used by KPHF. The stations' original owners began this shared time arrangement in 1990.
On March 22, 2023, Family Radio surrendered KPHF's license to the Federal Communications Commission for cancellation, and it was cancelled the next day. In exchange for the license surrender and the ability to take over the frequency on a full-time basis, VCY America, owners of KVCP, paid Family Radio $800,000 and agreed to carry Family Radio's programming on KVCP's HD2 channel, feeding Family Radio's translator K298CK. Additionally, Family Radio agreed to carry VCY America's programming on the HD2 channel of its KEBR in Sacramento, California.[1]
