KBLU is powered at 1,000 watts, non-directional by day and using a directional antenna at night. With its low dial position, KBLU can be heard around much of Southwest Arizona and Southeast California, including the communities of El Centro, Brawley and Blythe. It also covers parts of Baja California and Sonora, Mexico. KBLU is the descendant of two radio stations: KYUM, which went on the air in 1940 and moved to 560 kHz in 1951; and the original KBLU (1320 AM), which signed on in 1959; the two stations merged under KBLU's call sign and KYUM's license in 1969, with the 1320 facility donated to Arizona Western College to become KAWC. After El Dorado Broadcasters sold its FM stations in the market to K-Love Inc. in 2026, KBLU was taken off the air.
