History

The station went on the air as KBNH on May 10, 1999. On June 8, 2005, the station changed its call sign to KQTA.[2] KQTA was an affiliate of the Spanish Variety "Juan" format until 5 pm on September 5, 2011.

Bustos Media used to own the station. In September 2010, Bustos transferred most of its licenses to Adelante Media Group as part of a settlement with its lenders.[3]

Adelante Media sold KQTA and KDBI to JLD Media, LLC effective December 31, 2014, at a price of $850,000.

On January 15, 2015, KQTA changed their format to Regional Mexican, branded as "La Gran D 106.3" under new call letters, KDBI.[4]

Effective March 27, 2015, owner Kevin Terry transferred KDBI's license to Radio Rancho, LLC. The station changed its call sign to KDBI-FM on March 10, 2017.
