History

The station was first signed on in 1979 as KIQO by Midway Broadcasters Inc. In July 1984, Gareth F. Garlund and Anna Garlund sold their 80% stake in Midway Broadcasters to partners Gary F. Brill and Virginia Brill, who owned the other 20%, for $700,000.
In July 1998, Midway sold KIQO to Bakersfield, California-based American General Media for $1.5 million. At the time, the station carried an oldies music format.
On May 31, 2016, El Dorado Broadcasting sold the intellectual property of KSTT-FM in Los Osos-Baywood Park to American General Media as part of a series of divestitures of its Central Coast stations. The deal does not include the 101.3 FM frequency itself, which remained with El Dorado and changed its call sign to KJRW. The transaction was completed July 1, with KIQO dropping its classic hits format branded "Q104.5", picking up the KSTT-FM call letters and that station's hot adult contemporary format, and rebranding as "Coast 104.5".
