KRQZ (91.5 FM) is a radio station licensed to Lompoc, California, United States, serving the Santa Maria—Lompoc area. The station is owned by El Sembrador Ministries, Inc., and is part of its ESNE Radio Spanish-language Catholic radio network. Previous to ESNE's acquisition of the station in 2024, it broadcast a youth-targeted Christian rock format, relaying the signal of WUFM in Columbus, Ohio.

History

KRQZ was first signed on September 3, 2000, by Trinity Church of the Nazarene in Lompoc, California. The station began airing the Christian rock format of the nationally syndicated RadioU network, originating from WUFM in Columbus, Ohio, with some local DJs.[2] In 2014, Trinity Church of the Nazarene transferred the station's license to Spirit Communications, Inc., the nonprofit organization that owns WUFM.[3]

Spirit sold KRQZ to El Sembrador Ministries, operator of the ESNE Radio network, in 2024 for $195,000.[4]
