[edit] History
[edit] KIEV (1933–2000)
The station went on the air as KIEV in February, 1933 broadcasting at 870 kHz. The station had various formats, including top 40, big bands/standards, and talk. Programs included "Tomorrow's Heroes" with Andrea Speyer, Talk Back with George Putnam, Swinging Decades with host Chuck Cecil, horse racing from Santa Anita Park and Hollywood Park Racetrack and University of Nebraska football.
[edit] KRLA (2001–Present)
On January 1, 2001, the station adopted the KRLA call sign[1] discarded by KSPN 1110 AM (now KDIS at that frequency) for its conservative talk radio format. This station airs Mike Gallagher, Bill Bennett, Dennis Prager, Michael Medved, Hugh Hewitt, Dennis Miller, and Kevin James.
Brokered programming airs throughout the weekends and overnights. On June 14, 2010, KRLA added Glenn Beck's radio show to their lineup. KRLA marks the 400th affiliate for Glenn Beck's syndicated program.[2][3]
