KATY-FM (101.3 MHz, "KATY 101.3"), is a commercial radio station serving to the southwestern portion of the Riverside-San Bernardino, California radio market. KATY-FM is licensed to Idyllwild, California, with its studios and offices in Temecula, California. It broadcasts a Soft AC radio format, described as "Lite & Refreshing."

KATY-FM is independently owned and operated by the parent company, All Pro Broadcasting, which is owned by the estate of the late Green Bay Packers star Willie Davis. It is a sister station to "Hot 103.9" KHTI in Lake Arrowhead, California.

The current on-air staff include Erica, Mia D, Rick Shaw, Chris Ramone, Bernard, and JP Raineri. KATY-FM carries the nationally syndicated John Tesh Radio Show.

History[edit]

On December 1, 1989, it signed on the air, founded by Kay Sadler-Gill, at a time when few women owned radio stations.[1] Sadler-Gill's nickname is "Katy," which is reflected in the station's call sign.

In 2001, the station was purchased by All-Pro Broadcasting for $3.5 million.[2] On January 16 KATY switched their format to Soft AC and rebranded as KATY 101.3 Lite & Refreshing
