KDEY-FM (93.5 FM, 93.5 KDAY) is a Classic hip-hop formatted radio station serving the Riverside/San Bernardino area. The station is owned by Meruelo Media and broadcasts at 93.5 MHz on the FM dial. The station's city of licence is Ontario, California. KDEY-FM has a transmitter located on Haven Mountain to the north of Ontario.
From 2004 to 2008, KDEY-FM and KDAY in Redondo Beach, California were a pair of synchrocastingradio stations serving the LA/Orange County and Riverside/San Bernardino. Both stations ended their simulcast on August 14, 2008, when KDAY increased its signal coverage and began focusing on the Los Angeles area as a Urban Contemporary/Urban Talk outlet targeting 18- to 49-year-olds, while this station changed to KWIE and flipped formats to Rhythmic AC. After a year as a Rhythmic AC, KWIE returned to simulcasting KDAY on September 28, 2009 as KDEY-FM.
KDEY-FM has a transmitter located in Rancho Cucamonga.
The 93.5 in Ontario was KNTF from the early 80's until 1990 when it became "Thunder Country" for a very short time. In the early 1990s, this became Hot AC KRZE, "The Breeze". Former staff members of KRZE include Steve Craig mid-days at WRXP New York, Kevin Barrett-programme director at XTRA Sports San Francisco, and Lisa Osborne-anchor at KFI News. Formerly both Torrance and Ontario stations begun in the 1950s had call signs similar to each other: KFXM(AM) in Ontario (for San Bernardino) and KFXT(AM) in Torrance (for Los Angeles).
