KVHS, a radio station in Contra Costa County, is resuming broadcasts after its license was purchased for just one dollar. Originally a student-led station, KVHS broadcast a mix of news and music but lost educational programs when Clayton Valley High School became a charter. Mount Diablo Unified School District decided to sell the station's FCC license after incurring high lease costs for 20 years. The license transfer awaits FCC approval and current volunteers continue broadcasting online while plans to involve students are in development.
KVHS is set to start broadcasting again after a buyer purchased the station's license for just $1, following a lease expiration that silenced it.
In its current form, KVHS broadcasts an eclectic mix of news and music and is run by four volunteers, continuing its long legacy of community service.
Mount Diablo Unified School District opted to sell KVHS's FCC license, priced at $1, after calculating that maintaining the tower lease cost over $447,000 in two decades.
The Contra Costa County Office of Education plans to transform KVHS into a vehicle for students, focusing on providing educational opportunities related to broadcasting.
