KTHO (590 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a classic rock format. Licensed to South Lake Tahoe, California, USA, it serves the Lake Tahoe Basin-Carson City-Carson Valley-Reno area, and simulcasts on South Lake Tahoe-based FM translator K241BK (96.1 FM).
The station is currently owned by International Aerospace Solutions, Inc., a company owned by long-time Southern California broadcaster Darrell Wampler, and features "Local Talk and Classic Rock" with network news from ABC Radio.
After he took over operations of KTHO, Wampler retained current KTHO operations manager Ed Crook and employed local Lake Tahoe radio personalities Paul Middlebrook as a media consultant (and essentially general manager), semi-retired Bill Kingman as a technical advisor and broadcaster, and Curtis Fong as on-air personality. Wampler is also heard on the station under his radio air name, "The Insane Darrell Wayne".
On or about March 12, 2009, KTHO changed its format to classic rock, using the slogan "590 K-Tahoe." The station's hourly identity images the station as "Local Talk And Classic Rock."
