Originally owned by Palmdale-based Grace Broadcasting, it aired a Christian music and talk format.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Annuals/Archive-BC-YB-IDX/90s-OCR-YB/1991-YB/1991-BC-YB-OCR-Page-0127.pdf |title=Directory of Radio Stations in the United States and Canada |magazine=The Broadcasting Yearbook 1991 |publisher=Broadcasting Publications Inc. |page=B-41 |date=1991 |access-date=January 5, 2019 }}
In 2002, Grace Broadcasting sold KGBM to Educational Media Foundation (EMF) for an undisclosed amount.{{cite magazine |url=https://www.worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-Business/Magazines/Archive-RandR-IDX/IDX/00s/02/RR-2002-02-01-OCR-Page-0008.pdf |title=Amigo Adds In Austin |magazine=Radio & Records |page=6 |date=February 1, 2002 |access-date=January 5, 2019 }} EMF then flipped the station to its Air1 network, which at the time broadcast a Christian rock format.
On July 8, 2016, the station changed its call sign to KLXP and began airing K-Love, EMF's Christian adult contemporary music network.
