KIDI-FM (105.1 FM, "La Buena") is a commercial radio station that is licensed to Lompoc, California and serves the Santa Maria—Lompoc area. The station is owned by Emerald Wave Media and broadcasts a Spanish contemporary radio format.

History

The station first signed on in 1999 as KAOH, then changed its call letters to KWSZ the following year.[1][2][3] In 2002, Coast West Broadcasting sold the station to New Century AZ LLC for $900,000.[4]

On July 1, 2006, under new ownership by Emerald Wave Media, KWSZ flipped from adult hits to Spanish contemporary with the branding "Concierto 105.1 FM".[5][6] A matching call sign, KRTO, was assigned by the Federal Communications Commission on July 18.[3]

On September 28, 2007, KWSZ adopted the KIDI-FM call sign, which previously had been used at the 105.5 FM frequency before it was abandoned by Emerald Wave Media.[3]

On January 18, 2010, high winds in the Point Sal area caused a power outage that knocked the KIDI-FM transmitter off the air. Power to the transmitter was restored the same day, allowing KIDI-FM to resume broadcasting.[7]
