History
The radio station was hugely popular playing top 40 music in the 1960s as K/men 129, and battled crosstown rival KFXM (590) for ratings. A number of radio personalities, who were later heard in San Diego and Los Angeles, were featured on K/men. These include, but are not limited to, Johnnie Darin, Huckleberry (Chuck Clemans), William F. Williams, Jim Mitchell, Ben E. McCoy, Harry Scarborough, Bruce Chandler, Mark Denis, Dave Sebastian and Mark Ford. Before it joined Disney in 2001, this AM outlet (still as KMEN) played a variety of formats, including adult standards, oldies and talk. When the Oakland Raiders played in Los Angeles, KMEN was the Inland Empire affiliate.[citation needed]
On March 10, 2008, KMEN returned as an internet only station as www.kmen129.com.
