History
On July 19, 1987, the station signed on the air. Its original call sign before it went on the air, as a construction permit, was KJCC.
In 1995, after being purchased by Cypress Communications, KIEZ switched from a Spanish language KKLF simulcast to its own adult standards format. From 2005 to 2012, the station had a progressive talk format.
When KRXA was sold to El Sembrador, the progressive talk moved to RadioMonterey.com. With the sale, KRXA switched to a Spanish Catholic format.
