KUIC (95.3FM) is anadult contemporary radio station licensed toVacaville, California, and serves theSacramento Valley. Its music format consists of music from the 1980s to today.
The station is owned byConnoisseur Media,[2] which also ownsKKIQ 101.7 FM inLivermore andKKDV 92.1 FM inWalnut Creek. KUIC operates from its studios in Vacaville, and its transmitter is located west of Vacaville along theSolano-Napa county line. (Sister stations KKDV and KKIQ have studios in Pleasanton.) It also utilizes a translator booster inVallejo.
The station was originally put on the air in 1970 as KVFS, owned by Bruce and Dennis Zieminski operating as Northern California Stereocasters. The originalcall sign represented the service area ofVacaville,Fairfield, andSuisun. KVFS maintained studios in a mobile home.
In 1973, the station was sold to KPOP Radio and became KUIC. The transmitter was relocated to Butcher Hill—one of the first Sparta 602 packages produced. Studios moved to the station moved to the second story of theTriangle Building, later the California Hawaii Building, then to a two-story building on East Main (Vacaville) followed by a relocation to a larger building near the corner of Davis and Mason Street. Early Triangle Building music formats were often quite varied, often selected by the currentdisc-jockey and for many decades, the station certainly maintained a very local down-home flavor.
Early station Chief Engineers include Tim Dineen, Steve Moore and longtime employee Alan McCarthy. In the mid 1990s, the transmitter site was relocated to Mt. Vaca, where it remains to this day. For a brief period of time (c. 1994–95),KNBA (1190 AM) inVallejo was purchased and operated as a sister station, but not normally with the same programming. KNBA also expanded with anexpanded band 1640 AM signal, which becameKDIA.
KUIC, KKIQ, and KKDV were sold in 2015 toAlpha Media.[3] Alpha Media merged withConnoisseur Media on September 4, 2025.[4]
