KLNV (106.5 FM, "Que Buena 106.5") is a Regional Mexican radio station broadcasting to the San Diego metropolitan area. It is owned by Univision Radio. Its antenna is located at the same site of KSON and KOGO.
KLNV in not licensed by the FCC to broadcast in the HD Radio (digital) format.
106.5 FM started as KPRI in 1960, and aired a freeform format, which would later evolve into album-oriented rock.
In January 1984, the station flipped to an Adult Contemporary format as KLZZ, "Class FM." KLZZ switched formats once again in September 1986, to classic rock as "California Classics", KLZZ.
In July 1987, after KLZZ was purchased by Edens Broadcasting, KLZZ flipped to a dance-leaning Top 40 format, branded as "Q106" and adopted the KKLQ call letters. KKLQ was also heard on KOGO, 600 AM, as part of a simulcast, and later on now-Talk formatted KCBQ. Q106 was co-owned with KKBQ (93Q) in Houston, Texas, KOY-FM (Y95) in Phoenix, Arizona, WRBQ-FM (Q105) in Tampa, Florida, and WRVQ (Q94) in Richmond, Virginia. All 5 stations were top 40 stations. Edens also owned WWDE (2WD) in Norfolk, Virginia, during this time, but that station was Adult Contemporary. Q106 competed against KFMB-FM ("B100").
