With 4 primary stations in the AM and FM bands as well as an additional 15 translators, the station serves much of California, between the South Bay of Northern California and the U.S.-Mexico border south of San Diego with Spanish-language evangelical programming.
The La Nueva Vida network consists of five other full-power radio stations: KLTX 1390 AM in Long Beach, California, KEYQ 980 AM in Fresno, KGZO 90.9 FM in Bakersfield, KSDO 1130 AM in San Diego, and KEZY 1240 AM in San Bernardino.

For many years, it was KGER, owned by John Brown University of Siloam Springs, Arkansas. Its studios and offices were in Long Beach, California, which is still its city of license. In 1996, the station was sold to Salem Communications, which changed the call letters to KLTX ("K-Light"). Both versions carried Christian teaching and informational shows. In the KLTX years, the station also aired Michael Reagan's nationally syndicated political talk show. By 1999, KLTX broadcast half the day in English and the other half in Spanish.
