History
The station first signed on February 3, 1991 as KGBM. Originally owned by Palmdale-based Grace Broadcasting, it aired a Christian music and talk format.
In 2002, Grace Broadcasting sold KGBM to Educational Media Foundation (EMF) for an undisclosed amount. EMF then flipped the station to its Air1 network, which at the time broadcast a Christian rock format.
On July 8, 2016, the station changed its call sign to KLXP and began airing K-Love, EMF's Christian adult contemporary music network.
