KTMS (990 AM, "News Talk AM 990") is a right-wing news/talk formatted radio station based in Santa Barbara, California, and is owned by Rincon Broadcasting. It airs talk shows such as Dennis Miller, Rush Limbaugh, and Sean Hannity.
[edit] History
KTMS was founded by Santa Barbara News-Press publisher Thomas More Storke (hence the station callsign). KTMS was located for many years at 1250AM (now KZER). Among the programs produced at the station include 1-2-5 Club, with disc jockey Bob Ruth. It debuted in 1947 and aired for many years. The station moved to 990 AM, formerly KTYD, in the late 1990s, with an all-sports format soon to follow. In the 1960s, 990 AM was called "KGUD" (K-Good Radio) and sported a country music format. It began simulcasting KTYD's AOR format in the early 1970s, but returned to a country format in the 1980s.
