History

In December 2006, ACE Radio Corporation received a construction permit to build an FM station on 99.5 in Yarnell, Arizona. It was then sold to Magnolia Radio.

The station remained unbuilt until 2010, when Grupo Multimedia bought the construction permits for KRPH and KQMX in Lost Hills, California. By this time the CP specified operation in Morristown, closer to Phoenix.

From August 2011 to July 2012, KRPH was silent pending a relaunch of the station by Grupo Multimedia/Deportes y Música.

From September 2024 to February 2025, KRPH simulcast KXEG (1280 AM) in Phoenix, originally broadcasting as an affiliate of MeTV Music and later as an oldies station called "The Time Machine". In February 2025, the station was sold to La Promize Company, LLC and now simulcasts KNUV (1190 AM) from Tolleson.
