KVTA (1520 AM) is a talk radio station licensed to Port Hueneme, California, USA. The station is currently owned by Gold Coast Broadcasting LLC and features programing from CNN Radio and Westwood One.[1] Its programming schedule mainly consists of locally-produced and nationally-syndicated talk shows. The rest of its broadcast day is filled with local and national news from CNN. The station also carries Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, Los Angeles Kings and Los Angeles Lakers games.

During the 1960s and 70s, the station was known by the call letters KACY. It was a top-40 format station that used the slogan "Boss of the Beach." It was the dominant Top-40 station in the region, often co-sponsoring concerts (most in Santa Barbara) with local promoter Jim Salzer. Several KACY disc jockeys went on to greater prominence in their subsequent careers, including TV host Bob Eubanks and radio programmer Bill Tanner.
