KXMG (defunct)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KXMG 1540, Mega 1540 AM Stereo, was a Los Angeles radio station owned by Spanish Broadcasting System.
The station launched on March 29, 1996, on the frequency of the former KSKQ, which had just moved to FM. KXMG played Mexican regional music (such as banda and mariachi), mixing current and former music.
KXMG lasted until the spring of 2001, when multi-billionaire Paul Allen purchased the station and ended the Spanish language broadcast, switching 1540 AM to Allen's new Sporting News Radio as KCTD (now KMPC). Various stations still air Mexican regional music, and "Recuerdo" (103.9/98.3) plays the older songs.
