KLIO (1070 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a Spanish sports format.[1] Licensed to Wichita, Kansas, USA, the station serves the Wichita area. The station is currently owned by Journal Broadcast Corporation and features programing from ESPN Deportes Radio.[2]
On May 27, 2010, after nearly 50 years of country music programming under the call letters KFDI and KFTI, and consistently being in the top 10 stations in the Wichita radio market, the station switched to oldies music at 12:30PM, and then switched call letters to KLIO days later. The ratings tanked. The station aired music from the late 1950s through the early 1980s, with an emphasis on mid-'60s through mid-'70s. The station was an affiliate of Scott Shannon's True Oldies Channel. KLIO, along with KFDI, had a strong emphasis of news and aired news and weather reports.[3][4]
The station broadcast old shows of the American Top 40 with Casey Kasem.[5]
On September 30, 2013, at Midnight, KLIO switched from "True Oldies" to ESPN Deportes.[6]
