History
The radio station was hugely popular playing top 40 music in the 1960s as KMEN, K/men 129, and battled crosstown rival KFXM (AM) (590) for ratings. KMEN played a variety of formats, including adult standards, oldies and talk. When the Oakland Raiders played in Los Angeles, KMEN was the Inland Empire affiliate.[citation needed]
In 2001, the station would switch to a children's radio format, featuring music and programming from the Radio Disney network.
On March 10, 2008, KMEN returned as an internet-only station as www.kmen129.com.
On April 3, 2012, ERC Media signed a local marketing agreement (LMA) with Clear Channel, allowing the company to program the station with a mix of Contemporary Christian Music and brokered teaching programs. During this time, the station's programming originated from the Orange County studios of KWVE-FM.
On April 11, 2014, ERC Media's LMA expired and Clear Channel resumed programming KKDD with a Spanish adult hits format branded as "La Preciosa 1290."[2]
