KSMX (1240 AM, "News Talk 1240") is a radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. Licensed to Santa Maria, California, USA, the station serves the Santa Maria-Lompoc area. The station is currently owned by El Dorado Broadcasters and features programming from Fox News Radio, Premiere Radio Networks and Westwood One.[3]

History

KSMX was originally owned by John and Alice Bayless when it was KSMA, and the studios were originally downtown next to the old post office before Santa Maria's downtown renovation in the 1980s.

On 2007-11-30, the station changed call letters from KSMA to KSMX following a sale from Clear Channel Communications.[1]
