KMPC

KMPC-1540

KMPC-1540 is known to the Los Angeles and Orange County area as "1540: The Ticket". It is owned and operated by the radio division of the Sporting News magazine, although much of the network's daily programming doesn't air on the station, except in certain situations. It is an all-sports formatted AM station which covers the basketball and football teams of the University of Southern California, Los Angeles Galaxy soccer, NASCAR, and San Diego Chargers football.

Among the station's regular talk-show hosts include Tony Bruno, who began his morning show in April 2005 following the departure of Roger Lodge; KNBC's Fred Roggin in the afternoons, and a mid-day show hosted by former USC football player Petros Papadakis.

A new addition to KMPC was former Los Angeles Dodgers broadcaster Ross Porter, who filled in for Roggin on an early-June 2005 broadcast.

Roger Nadel, former GM of all-news KNX in Los Angeles, is the station's program director.

In 2006, Roggin left the station and a new program, the Atlanta-based 2 Live Stews, took his place.

KMPC-710

Prior to November 21, 1997 the call letters KMPC were assigned on AM-710, and it was at one time one of the top AM radio stations in Southern California. In the 1960s and 70s, it featured a number of notable DJs, including Dick Whittinghill, Bob Arbogast, Geoff Edwards, Ira Cook, Roger Carroll, Wink Martindale, Jim Lange, Gary Owens, Johnny Magnus, Kathy Gori, and Sonny Melendrez.

A powerhouse in local sports reporting, KMPC-710 broadcast Los Angeles Rams, California Angels, and UCLA football games. Some of the notable sports announcers were Fred Hessler, Dave Niehaus, and Dick Enberg.

KMPC-710 was also noted for its extensive use of field reporters and news/traffic aircraft. It was also the first station to issue Sigalert traffic alerts.
