KKLC-FM Radio 107.9 is a K-LOVE repeater station based in Mount Shasta, California. The station has a very storied history with ownership, call letter and frequency changes that rival those of any other radio station in the country.

KKLC signed on the air in the 1960's as KEDY-FM 95.3, owned and operated by the Shasta Cascade Broadcasting Corporation, run by brothers David Rees Sr. and Jonathan Rees. It came on the heels of the success of its sister station KWSD-AM 620. The station was taken over by David's son, David Rees Jr. in the 1980's and had played various formats from adult standards to rock and was home to many great radio talents such as Fred "The Big Guy" Gerding Jr., Bill Craig aka "The Booger Nugget Kid" (now of the accapella group Boyz Nite Out) and Rick Martin (now of KNTK-FM). David Jr's sons, Dennis and Chris, also served as on-air talent.

The frequency was moved up to 107.9 FM as the station was sold to Dalmatian Enterprises, Inc., owners of KSYC-AM and FM. KEDY was then sold to Siskiyou Radio Partners, Inc. in 1995 (owned by Tom Huth and Bob Darling), then had the call letters changed to KMJC-FM (MJC stood for "Magic") and the format was changed to oldies as the station was branded "Magic 108".

KMJC-FM was then sold to Four Rivers Broadcasting in 2001, which also purchased sister stations KMJC-AM, KSYC-AM and KSYC-FM. The station was then branded "The Mountain" and played eclectic (or adult album alternative) music. Then, finally the station was picked up by Educational Media Foundation, which operates K-LOVE Radio, in 2004 as Four Rivers also sold its AM stations to Jefferson Public Radio of Ashland, Oregon.

In 2006, the station's call letters were again changed to the current KKLC.
