KSON or AM 1240 is a rather eclectic radio station that airs brokered programming consisting of gospel music, religious teachings, holy hip hop, and Christian music.

[edit] History

Previously, KSON was a gospel music radio station, having that format from January 2007 until July 2007. Prior to that format, it had been a KidStar Radio affiliate from July 24, 1996, but that radio network was short-lived and merged with Radio Disney. Before that, KSON had a country music format that simulcasted with KSON-FM 97.3. KSON shares its antenna with AM 1040 KURS. During a heavy rain/wind storm in the end of December 2004, approximately half of the radio antenna tower collapsed and fell, leaving the tower at a height of about 500 feet. [1] [2]
