KAIV, licensed to Thousand Oaks, California, United States, and KYZA, licensed to Adelanto, California, are radio stations on 92.7 MHz broadcasting the Air1 Christian radio network to areas north of Los Angeles. The stations are owned alongside Air1 by the Educational Media Foundation. KAIV serves Ventura County and far northwestern Los Angeles County, while KYZA covers the Victor Valley.

The two stations had independent histories prior to 1997. The Victor Valley station started life in 1959 as Riverside-based KACE-FM, and KNJO signed on four years later to serve Thousand Oaks and the Conejo Valley. In the 1990s, the Amaturo Group acquired these two stations and a third 92.7 facility—KRCI, originally on Catalina Island. After the latter was moved off the mainland, in 1997, all three stations were combined into a new regional radio service, the beautiful music–formatted Lite 92.7. The Riverside station moved to the Victor Valley in 2002. Amaturo changed the brand on the trimulcast twice: to female-leaning adult hits in 2005 under the Jill FM moniker and to classic hits as Playlist FM in 2011. On December 1, 2012, the Educational Media Foundation began leasing the signals while it purchased them, integrating them into its Air1 network. In 2025, KYLA (the former KRCI) split from the trimulcast to switch to the EMF-owned Radio Nueva Vida.
