History

KIEV 870

The station went on the air as KIEV in February 1933 broadcasting at 850 kHz. It moved to 870 kHz in 1941 as a result of the NARBA agreement. The station had various formats, including top 40, big bands/standards, and talk. Programs included Tomorrow's Heroes with Andrea Speyer, Talk Back with George Putnam, The Swingin' Years with host Chuck Cecil, horse racing from Santa Anita Park and Hollywood Park Racetrack, and University of Nebraska football. Signing on in 1942 as KPAS, the station became country KXLA three years later. Tennessee Ernie Ford, Cal Worthington, and Jim Hawthorne were three of the announcers.

On January 1, 2001, 870 AM adopted the KRLA call letters.^[1] A long-time Oldies station at 1110 AM, now Radio Disney affiliate KDIS, had used those call letters for several decades, beginning in 1959.

Specialty shows featuring law, pet care and financial advice, as well as Brokered programming air throughout the weekends on KRLA. On June 14, 2010, KRLA added Glenn Beck's radio show to the lineup, but the show was discontinued several years later.^[2]^[3] The KRLA-produced Terry Anderson Show aired on Sundays at 9 p.m., until Anderson died on July 7, 2010.^[4]

In 2014 rival talk radio station KABC, owned by Cumulus Media, discontinued the Mark Levin and Larry Elder shows. In 2015 Salem Communications added both hosts to its line-up.^[5] By June 2015 KRLA's Los Angeles ratings pulled ahead of rival KABC.^[6] Salem Communications owns two other Talk Radio stations in Southern California, 590 KTIE that serves the Inland Empire (Riverside and San Bernardino county metro listening area) and 1170 KCBQ serving San Diego. ^[7]
