KXOL-FM (96.3, "Mega 96.3"), is a Spanish AC music radio station in the Los Angeles area.
For many years, 96.3 was a Christian radio station in Los Angeles known as KFSG, owned by the International Church of the Foursquare Gospel (the call letters stood for "FourSquare Gospel"). They ran religious programming produced by their own church along with syndicated staples like "Focus on the Family", "Joni and Friends", "Insight for Living", "In Touch", among others. They ran such shows half the time, playing music the other half.
For years, the station played traditional Christian music with contemporary Christian for only a few hours a week on Saturday. But by 1981 they began to mix in softer contemporary Christian songs to their format. By 1987 KFSG was an adult contemporary Christian station playing artists like Twila Paris, Steven Curtis Chapman, Petra, David Meece, Randy Stonehill, PFR, White Heart, among others.
The station was owned by the Foursquare Church until 2001 when it was sold to the Spanish Broadcasting System. On April 30, 2001, KFSG moved its programming to 93.5 (now KDAY), but dropped the music and went to religious talk programming full-time. By 2003, KFSG was off the air when that station was sold to another Spanish group.
