History

The station signed on the air in February 1999.[2] Immaculate Heart Radio bought the station only months after KSMH went on the air. In April 1999, it paid $475,000 for KSMH and AM 950 KAHI in Auburn, California. KSMH was initially located in Auburn as the expanded band counterpart to KAHI; it moved to West Sacramento in 2001, but for regulatory purposes remains paired with KAHI, which remains operated by the stations' former owner under a time brokerage agreement.[3] Immaculate Heart Radio merged with Relevant Radio in 2017.
