Throwbacks

V101.1 plays classic hip-hop with a rhythmic adult contemporary lean — the throwbacks Sacramento grew up with. Some programming comes through Compass Media Networks, and HD2 carries TikTok Radio.

Studios

The studios and offices are on River Park Drive, off the Capital City Freeway in North Sacramento near the Arden Fair Mall.

History

The station signed on on December 21, 1961, after a construction permit as KAHI-FM, and was KAFI until 1978 before becoming KHYL.
