KXTE {107.5 X-treme Radio} is a modern rock radio station out of Pahrump, Nevada owned by CBS Radio. Former calls are KFBI, KUDA, KLVV.

[edit] History

KLVV began broadcasting in Las Vegas on the 107.5 frequency in May 1986. It was an adult contemporary station as "K-Love." In November 1988, this became KUDA, "Oldies 108 FM." Norm N. Nite once had a show on the station, called Solid Gold Scrapbook.

KUDA then became classic rock KFBI in 1993 and added Howard Stern's syndicated show. Three years later, it was sold to American Radio Systems, where PD Mike Stern and GM Alan Gray created a music format designed to appeal to the Howard Stern audience and changed the call letters to KXTE-FM. ARS later merged with Infinity Broadcasting (now CBS Radio). Stern stayed on KXTE until the station pulled him in November 2005, a month before he left terrestrial radio for Sirius Satellite Radio.

Current lineup: 6a-10a Adam Carolla, 10a-3p Pauly, 3p-7p Xtreme Disorder, 7p-12m Sara, 12m-6a
