KTIE goes back 76 years when it was KFXM and the oldest serving radio station from the Inland Empire debuted in 1929, the original site of its radio antenna was on the summit of Mount San Bernardino, about 25 miles east of the city. KFXM was received across most of Southern California such as Los Angeles and San Diego.
From 1991 to 1995, this station's call letters were KRSO on 590AM and it was the local affiliate for the Los Angeles Rams pro football team. Its format, adult standards, was identical to KMPC (now KSPN).
Nowadays, KTIE in the daytime is audible from Azusa or Westminster to the west, and all the way to Banning or Yucca Valley in the east. Its main focus is the Inland Empire and Orange County.
