[edit] History

1140 AM was known as KRSR "The Krusher", a heavy metal-formatted station in the 1980's, whose DJ is a robotic voice similar to that of the Cylon voice used on Battlestar Galactica.

Before that, 1140 used the call letters KMJJ and was at one time the flagship station for UNLV football and basketball. In 1989, 1140 AM began simulcasting 98.5 FM KLUC until 1993.

In 1993, 1140 became KXNO "Casino Radio". It was mostly tourist information. In 1997, KXNO switched to KSFN "Sports 1140" for two years from 1997 to 1999.

In 1999, KSFN became "Cruisin' Oldies" They were mostly jockless and played all the oldies from the late 1950's to early 1960's. This lasted until 2001.

KSFN became "Hot Talk 1140" in 2001. Talk shows consisted of Tom Leykis, Phil Hendrie, Opie & Anthony, etc. In 2005, KSFN became "Spike 1140" radio for men (in reference to co-owned Spike TV). While the format still remained the same, sports programs were mixed in. Dodgers baseball can be now be heard on KSFN 1140. KSFN in early 2005 began streaming online and now can be heard worldwide.
