KATY-FM is licensed to Idyllwild, California, with its studios and offices in Temecula, California. It broadcasts an adult contemporary radio format, described as "More Music, More Variety".

KATY-FM is independently owned and operated by the parent company, All Pro Broadcasting, which is owned by the estate of the late Green Bay Packers star Willie Davis. It simulcasts on sister station 103.9 KHTI in Lake Arrowhead, California.

History

On December 1, 1989, it signed on the air, founded by Kay Sadler-Gill, at a time when few women owned radio stations.[2] Sadler-Gill's nickname is "Katy," which is reflected in the station's call sign.
