History
The station signed on the air in November 1992[2] It was operated as "KIX 106", a country music station, for six years.
In 1998, KIXA flipped to "Rock 106", where the station played a mix of classic rock from the 1960s and 70s along with alternative rock from the 1980s and 90s. The station was simulcast on KIXW-FM and KIXF-FM to cover the Victor Valley, Barstow and Baker. When the rock format ended on 106.5 in 2002, Clear Channel Communications sold off the Barstow and Baker stations to Westwood One, which later sold them to Heftel Broadcasting. KIXA 106.5 was relaunched as a full-time classic rock station.
Since 2002, KIXA has been branded as "The Fox". The focus has been rock songs from the 1970s and 80s with a few 60s titles. After Clear Channel sold the station to El Dorado Broadcasters in 2006, KIXA updated its classic rock presentation to include music from the 1960s to the early 1990s, while mostly excluding alternative rock.
