History.
KKBB was originally known by the call letters of KCHT airing a Top 40 music format branded as "The Heat". The radio station was built and owned by Elgee Broadcasting Corporation. It signed on the air for the first time at 18:00 PST on 3 November 1990. The music programming was syndicated by ABC Radio Networks.
In 1994, ABC Radio Networks ceased syndication of their Top 40 "Heat" format. KCHT changed their call letters to KOQQ then KKBB and adopted a classic rock music format branded as B Rock 99 that lasted until 2003 when the format was changed to rhythmic oldies, rebranded as "Groove 99.3".
