Classic hip-hop

Transmitter and studios
The station transmits from Mount Beacon atop the Marin Headlands above Sausalito. The studios are in the KPIX-TV building in San Francisco's North Beach district.
History
The frequency signed on September 1, 1948, as KDFC, a classical station, and kept that name until 2011. It was KUZX before becoming KRBQ — call letters that point to rhythm and blues and the former "Q" branding.
