KEGY (103.7 FM) - currently branded as ENERGY 103.7 - is a San Diego Top 40 station, owned and operated by CBS Radio. The station broadcasts in HD Radio. The HD-2 broadcasts a simulcast of sister station KROQ-FM/Los Angeles.
The station originally signed on in February 1965 as KSDO-FM, and aired Country music. It was co-owned with KSDO-AM. By the late 1970s, the station was KOZN-FM playing a beautiful music format. On May 20, 1979, the call letters were changed to KJQY and the station was known as "K-Joy". The station evolved into an adult contemporary format in the late 1980s as "Sunny 103.7", then on February 16, 1995, it became "Rock Mix 103.7" KMKX, playing classic rock music.
On July 5, 1996, the call letters changed to KPLN and the station was then known as "The Planet", continuing with a classic rock format. At that time, it was the radio home of Brad Martin (now afternoons on KPBS-FM),Cindy Pace (now on The Walrus 105.7) and Dan Lopez (now syndicated).
On October 25, 2005, the station changed formats from classic rock to an FM talk format with the brand "Free FM", and their call letters changed on October 28 from KPLN to KSCF. In December 2005, Howard Stern left the terrestrial airwaves and moved to Sirius Satellite Radio. At the beginning, Adam Carolla was their morning show host. He started January 3, 2006, replacing Stern.
On March 1, 2006, The Phil Hendrie Show was replaced by the Dick and Skibba Show, a local show formerly from 97.1 Free FM. The show aired in the 7pm-10pm time slot, then the only live and local talk show in San Diego in the evening. As a result, this pushed Phil Hendrie to a later 10pm-1am time slot. Dick and Skibba were fired on February 14, 2007, according to program director Jim Daniels, the show was too for San Diego.
