History

This station received its original construction permit for a new FM station in Redwood Valley, California, from the Federal Communications Commission on April 25, 2005.[2] The new station was assigned the call letters KAIS by the FCC on May 2, 2005.[3] In December 2007, the station was granted permission to change its community of license to Hopland, California.[4]

In October 2008, the Educational Media Foundation reached an agreement to transfer this station to One Ministries, Inc., as part of a complicated multi-station deal.[5] The deal was approved by the FCC on November 20, 2008, and the transaction was consummated on December 9, 2008.[6] The new owners applied to the FCC for new call letters and were assigned KORB on November 28, 2008.[3]

In March 2009, KORB kicked off its morning show with the station's first on air DJ, Costas Schuler.

On June 1, 2022, KORB changed its format to Christian preaching, branded as "K-FAITH 103.1", fed on translator K276FY.[7]
