Revision as of 02:12, 2 February 2008

KLSD is a sports station based in San Diego, California. The sports programming began on November 12, 2007. Previously, KLSD's format was progressive talk radio.

KLSD changed programming on Monday November 12 to sports talk and is known as XTRA Sports 1360. The first local live programming at 3 p.m. was Lee Hacksaw Hamilton.

When the station was a progressive talker the programming came from Air America Radio. KLSD also aired the Ed Schultz show from Jones Radio Network and Mike Malloy from Nova M Radio. Local programming included the morning show, Stacy Taylor and the nationally syndicated Air America host Jon Elliott. Jon continues to broadcast from KLSD's studios. KLSD went on the air in August 2004, and ended the run as a progressive talker on November 11. Its logo during its 3-year run was similar to sister station KABQ in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Prior to KLSD, the station was KPOP, playing adult standards music.

The station broadcasts at 5,000 watts day; 1,000 watts night, sharing a tower with KGB-FM in the East San Diego area. In August 2005, KLSD's owners applied to the FCC to increase power to 50,000 watts day and night, sharing the six-tower KSDO array in Santee (Clear Channel Communications owns the broadcast site for KSDO). As of November 2007, this application is still pending approval. [1]

History

On July 14th, 1922 KFBC started broadcasting on 833.3 kHz and shared the time with 8 other San Diego radio stations. As the AM band became standardized across the country, the station moved to 1210 kHz. changing to KGB in 1928, and moved to 1360 kHz in 1942. In the 1960s KGB was an important player in the San Diego AM Top 40 race, featuring the Boss Radio format. In the 1970s, with its FM sister station KGB-FM, it became an early adopter and pioneer of what is now called the album oriented rock format, eventually adopting the moniker "13K." KGB AM became KCNN with an all-news format in 1982; KPQP, playing Adult Standards, in 1986; in 1997 this call was changed to KPOP. KGB-FM still plays classic rock on 101.5 MHz.

The year 2007 marked the 85th anniversary of San Diego's oldest licensed radio station.

XTRA Sports 1360

In August 2007, format change rumbles had started in the market and reported by SDRadio.net. This stated that KLSD would soon adopt an all-sports format, possibly called "XTRA Sports." (The format and tagline was used by AM690 for many years.) Station officials at first denied the rumor.[2] On August 23, a group of fans began a website to try to convince Clear Channel to keep the current progressive talk format.[3]. The progressive talk site is at AM1360KLSD

About October 22nd, the station started (possibly accidentally) slipping in station identifications for the name "KHTS HD-3," to which the Air America content is rumored to be moving. Jon Elliot has also mentioned "93.3 HD-3" as a possible new home for the Air America and similar programs. This is an HD Radio channel. KHTS-FM (93.3 MHz) is also owned by Clear Channel Communications.
