The station first signed on the air in December 2000 as KRPA as an affiliate of America One. The station changed its call letters to KXLA on August 8, 2001 with Ethnic programming. The KXLA call letters were previously used by the Pasadena radio station now known as KRDC and in fictional form by the television station featured in the film The China Syndrome and the Bewitched TV spinoff Tabitha, with Lisa Hartman-Black in the title role.
KXLA's transmitter was originally located on Catalina Island at 33°20′59.5″N 118°21′9.4″W, but in 2004 it was moved to Mount Wilson, where most of the other stations in the Los Angeles market transmit.
