KLSD is a progressive talk radio station, the San Diego home for Air America Radio, Ed Schultz, and Lionel. Local programming includes their morning show, Stacy Taylor.

The station broadcasts at 5000 watts day, 1000 watts night, sharing a tower with KGB-FM in the East San Diego area. In August 2005, KLSD's owners applied to the FCC to increase power to 50,000 watts day and night, sharing the six-tower KSDO array in Santee. As of November 2006, this application was still pending approval.

The station began life as KFBC on 1210 kHz in 1922, changing to KGB at 1360 kHz in 1942. In the 1960s KGB was an important player in the San Diego AM Top 40 race, featuring the Boss Radio format. In the 1970s, with its FM sister station KGB-FM, it became an early adopter and pioneer of what is now called the album oriented rock format. KGB AM became KCNN with an all-news format in 1982; KPQP, playing Adult Standards, in 1986; in 1997 this call was changed to KPOP. KGB-FM still plays classic rock on 101.5 MHz.
