KDIS 1110 AM is the flagship Radio Disney affiliate.
Before that, the Pasadena licensed station had the call letters KRLA, and was one of the top radio stations in the Los Angeles area, competing with KFWB and KHJ to be L.A.'s dominant top 40 station. The station evolved to an AC format by 1982 and focused on Oldies by 1983. They dropped current music in 1984, electing to play the oldies of the late 50's, early 60's, Late 60's, and 70's. By the late 80's the station leaned pre 64 and by the early 90's leaned 60's. By 1994 KRLA leaned to an Urban Oldies format. KRLA abandoned music entirely in 1998, and went all talk.
As a talk station, KRLA featured many cast-offs from KABC, such as Michael Jackson and Ken Minyard. But the format was low-rated and the station was sold to Disney, which at first programmed the ESPN Radio format (as KSPN) before moving the Radio Disney format from AM 710 to 1110 (a change made reportedly because the 1110 signal could not be heard in Orange County at night, when Anaheim Angels games are played).
