They currently play the Classic Hits format on both stations. They, along with KMYC-AM and KOBO-AM, are the only radio stations broadcasting in the Yuba-Sutter region.

tation History

KUBA was founded on January 24, 1947, and went on the air as an independent radio station on January 10, 1948. The FCC granted a license to the station to start broadcasting at 500 watts on 1600 kilohertz of power. Power was raised to 1,000 watts in 1949 with the installation of a new 2-tower directional antenna system and the studio were moved to the Hotel Marysville in 1950. The power was once again increased, this time to 5,000 watts in February of 1961. The station was once again relocated in 1963 to an office building on 4th Street in Marysville before moving to its permanent home on Sanborn Road in Yuba City in the early 1970's.

In January of 1983, KUBA was purchased by the Harlan Family and remained there until the summer of 2004, when the station merged with Nevada County Broadcasters to increase our coverage into the Nevada City, Grass Valley area.

Now on both bands

In early 2008, KUBA was allowed to broadcast it's programming on FM 95.5. KUBA was one of the first AM radio stations in the country to qualify to add an FM signal under a new Federal Communications Commission ruling.

In 2008, KUBA celebrated it's 60th Birthday! AM 1600 & FM 95.5 KUBA has gone through a few format changes from country music in 1999 to "America's Best Music" to what we are today "Classic Hits of the 60's and 70's" plus news and information you need to know about.
