KBRT

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

KBRT is known on air as KBRT AM 740. A Christian radio station, it airs Christian talk radio programming for Catalina Island, Los Angeles, and San Diego. The station broadcasts at 10,000 watts sunrise to sunset and 113 watts from sunset to sunrise at 740 Mhz from the hill above Avalon on Catalina Island. The studio and business offices are located in Chula Vista. The nighttime broadcasts cannot generally be heard very far inland, local signal strength not even reaching all of Long Beach. The business offices are on the extreme southern edge of the distant level signal with Oxnard the limit to the North. As a result, most of the Los Angeles area will hear KCBS from San Francisco on 740 Mhz after dark. The evening and early morning programming consists of same-day rebroadcasts and a "Best of KBRT" program. They also broadcast in HD Radio and on the web.

[edit] History

In 1980, the station switched to the Talk/Christian format after being purchased by Donald Crawford of Crawford Broadcasting when the assets of the original Crawford Broadcasting was split up among the heirs of its founder, evangelist Dr. Percy B. Crawford. Previously, KBRT was known as KBIG, airing Easy Listening music.
