KVML 1450 AM is a radio station licensed to Sonora, California. The station broadcasts a News-Talk format and is owned by Clarke Broadcasting Corporation.[1]

AM 1450 KVML is the Mother Lode’s oldest radio station dating back to 1949 known as “The Mother Lode’s News Station”[2] In February, 1994, KZSQ and KVML updated to digital studios and relocated to downtown Sonora. In 2000 Clarke Broadcasting acquired a local Internet Service Provider, Mother Lode Internet, and created a community website, myMotherLode.com, for its three radio stations KVML/KZSQ/KKBN. Mother Lode Internet was sold by Clarke Broadcasting in 2008, while retaining the myMotherLode.com with more than 500,000 visitors a month and 2 million page views.[3] myMotherLode.com continues to promote and represent AM 1450 KVML which does not stream all radio content but multimedia feature segments are available on myMotherLode.com.

In 2013 when communities were evacuated due to the Rim Fire KVML and myMotherLode.com were a vital and official source for local information. KVML provided constant community updates and coverage and its sister stations broadcast vital community fire report meetings.[4]

Clarke Broadcasting Corporation is a Nevada corporation, President H. Randolph Holder, Jr., the General Manager of KVML/KZSQ/KKBN/myMotherlode.com is Larry England.
