KHTK has been one of America's top rated sports stations for the past 12 years. "The Rise Guys" show, featuring Whitey Gleason and former MLB player F-P Santangelo, airs weekday mornings. "Sportsline" with Kings play by play man Grant "Peaches" Napear and former USC football standout Mike Lamb airs 4pm-7pm. Sportsline is followed weeknights by the Jim Kozimor Showgram and then a local caller turned host The Carmichael Dave Show from 9pm and midnight. Weekends features hosts Jim Crandell of KTXL Fox 40; Larry Krueger and Chris Townsend on Saturday evenings; and legal specialist Mark Reichel on Sunday mornings. A sports show with a hip hop theme, "En Tha Dungeon with Frank Red" airs Sunday nights.
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.
