The station signed on the air in 1995; 30 years ago (1995). It originally broadcast at 107.7 MHz and was licensed to Merced, California. The call sign was KZFT. It later moved into the Fresno radio market, being licensed to the suburb of North Fork.

Before it switched to a Regional Mexican format, it broadcast Spanish language adult contemporary music. And before that, it played Reggaetón music along with Spanish language hip hop.

On September 28, 2014, the station branding "La Kalle" was changed to "Latino Mix".

On May 2, 2016, KLLE changed its format to Regional Mexican, branded as "Zona MX 107.9".^[3] It was programmed by former owner TelevisaUnivision's Uforia Audio Network until 2024.

On December 1, 2024, KLLE "Zona Mx 107.9" rebranded as "La Picosa 107.9" while continuing to air Regional Mexican music.
