KKFS (99.5 MHz) is an FM radio station serving the Sacramento metropolitan area with the contemporary Christian format Air1. It is owned and operated by the Educational Media Foundation.

History

EMF re-launched KLVS in mid-April 2008 to serve the Sacramento area after moving the station in from Grass Valley, but on May 28, it went silent after the Federal Aviation Administration voiced concern over the new {{convert|358|ft|m|adj=on}} radio tower the station built in El Dorado Hills. Although the tower had all the necessary approvals from the FCC, the FAA said those approvals should not have been given without its input.{{sfn|K-love|2008}} EMF has worked out the technical issues and returned the station, by then KLVB, to the air in July 2012.

On February 1, 2025, due to the sale of KKFS (103.9 FM) to EMF and the end of its "103.9 The Fish" format, KLVB and KKFS changed call signs, becoming an affiliate of Air1.{{cn|date=March 2025}}
