KBEB (92.5 MHz) is a commercial FM radio station in Sacramento, California, calling itself "92.5 The Breeze." It is owned by iHeartMedia and airs a Soft Adult Contemporary format. KBEB carries the syndicated "Delilah" call-in and request show in the evening. The studios are in North Sacramento near Arden Fair Mall.
In February 1947; 75 years ago, the station signed on as KFBK-FM on 96.9 MHz. It was originally owned by McClatchy Newspapers, parent company of The Sacramento Bee. On January 9, 1958, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) granted KFBK-FM's request to move the station to 92.5 MHz. For its first two decades, it largely simulcast co-owned KFBK 1530 AM. In the 1960s, it began playing classical music for some hours and eventually went all-classical.
In October 1978, KFBK-FM changed its call sign to KAER. It switched to a beautiful music format, playing quarter hour sweeps of soft, instrumental cover versions of popular songs.
On July 24, 1987, McClatchy Newspapers sold KAER and KFBK to Group W Inc. for $19,001,000. The transaction closed in September. KAER began adding more vocals to the easy listening format in an effort to appeal to a younger demographic. But eventually the instrumentals were deleted.
