History
KTUR (later KCEY), signed on in 1949. In 1977, when an FM station was added, a new building went up. K-MIX 98 was automated adult contemporary with DJs recording their shows to give the impression of live broadcasts.{{cite web|url=http://www.modestoradiomuseum.org/KCEY%20KMIX%20NEW%20BLDG.html|title=KCEY / K-MIX: First New Building in 29 Years, Worth Waiting For|last=Sweetland|first=Richard|publisher=Modesto Radio Museum|access-date=May 28, 2015|archive-date=February 20, 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160220232528/http://www.modestoradiomuseum.org/KCEY%20KMIX%20NEW%20BLDG.html|url-status=dead}} In 1995, KMIX-FM became KWNN, simulcasting Rhythmic CHR KWIN.{{cite magazine|title=Vox Jox|magazine=Billboard|date=March 18, 1995|volume=107|issue=11|page=78}}
