KLO is a news/talk radio station broadcasting out of Ogden, Utah to the Salt Lake City area. The station airs syndicated conservative talk shows, including Bill Bennett, Laura Ingraham, Michael Medved, and Dennis Miller. When startup 97.5 FM Talk changed its format in late 2006, KLO added Michael Savage and Bill O'Reilly, who had previously been a part of their lineup. KLO's skywave signal has been heard as far away as Casa Grande, Arizona at night. In 2012, Capital Broadcasting purchased KJQN from Simmons Media for $1.5 million and began simulcasting programming on 103.1 FM. KJQN will become known as "KLO-FM" when approved by the FCC.[2]

All four of KLO's four towers are different heights, which is unusual.
