KHTK is located in the Sacramento, California, area and broadcasts at 1140 AM. This Sports/Talk station is the flagship station of the Sacramento Kings. KHTK also broadcasts UC Davis football games, Sacramento Mountain Lions of the UFL,and the Oakland Raiders of the NFL. KHTK broadcasts at 50,000 watts and can be heard from Redding to Monterey. It is the second AM to broadcast HD Radio in the Sacramento area (1470 AM KIID being the first). The station can also be heard on sister station KNCI, on their HD3 signal.
KHTK emerged after long-time country giant KRAK switched formats in 1994, due to the declining AM music audience. 1140 AM became the sports station in 1994 with the first show featuring NFL Hall of Famer Jack Youngblood and co-host Mike Remy, the station's former program director.
On July 31, 2008, the CBS Corporation announced that KHTK and its five sister stations in Sacramento were being put up for sale as part of the planned divesture of radio stations outside the top-15 U.S. radio markets.
On November 9, 2011 KHTK rebranded as "Sports Radio 1140 The Fan".
