KFXR 1190 AM

A commercial AM radio station operating a conservative talk format on 1190 kHz, transmitting at 50,000 watts during daytime hours. Originally established in 1947 as KLIF, the station became a major top 40 hit music outlet during the 1950s and 1960s, virtually defining the format during its era and achieving unprecedented market dominance with over 50 share ratings. As FM audiences displaced AM radio for music programming in the late 1970s, the station transitioned to talk radio. Through subsequent ownership changes and format shifts spanning news, oldies, country, and sports programming, it eventually arrived at its current conservative talk format. The station maintains complex directional antenna arrays with separate daytime and nighttime transmitter sites designed to prevent interference with other 1190 AM stations. Current programming includes syndicated conservative hosts and local talk shows alongside sports coverage.
