[edit] History

The station signed on in 1938 as KUTA and was then head by Utah broadcasting pioneer Frank Carman. In the 1970s, the station changed its calls to KLUB and was once the flagship station for the Utah Jazz of the National Basketball Association. KLUB gave way to KISN AM, which was Utah's first all-sports radio station and was branded as "Sports Radio 570". Clear Channel Communications purchased the station in 1997. After being sold to Jacor Communications, the station's call letters became KNRS, standing for News Radio Station. The station adopted a hybrid all-news format under the moniker "570 K-News". After the failure of the all-news format, KNRS became known as "Family Values Talk Radio" in 2000.^[2]^[3]
