KEZY joined the Spanish language evangelical Christian network Radio Nueva Vida in 2002. Before that, it was a simulcast of KLTX 1390 AM, airing Christian teaching shows (such as Through the Bible) and Michael Reagan's talk show. It was also the play-by-play home of the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes of the California League of minor-league baseball in 2000 and carried some high school football games as well.

By 2019, the station had disaffiliated from Radio Nueva Vida, but continued to air a Spanish language Christian format as Radio Inspiración.{{cite web |url=https://www.radioinspiracion.com/ |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190526080526/https://www.radioinspiracion.com/ |title=Radio Inspiración 1390 AM|publisher=KLTX |archive-date=May 26, 2019 |access-date=May 26, 2019 |url-status=dead |df=mdy-all }}
