KTLK

For the FM talk station in Minneapolis (also owned by CCC), see KTLK-FM

KTLK AM 1150 is a radio station serving the Los Angeles metropolitan area. Branding itself as Progressive Talk AM 1150, AM 1150 broadcasts a liberal talk radio format featuring selected portions of the Air America Radio lineup and programs from the Jones Radio Network. The lineup features liberal hosts Al Franken, Janeane Garofalo, Randi Rhodes,as well as Jones Radio Network hosts Ed Schultz and Stephanie Miller. Stephanie Miller's show originates from Los Angeles, so there is close cooperation between Miller and KTLK. Notably absent from the KTLK schedule on the Air America lineup is Jerry Springer, as his show conflicts with Stephanie Miller's show. KTLK also airs local shows such as Johnny Wendell (a.k.a Johnny Angel), Dr. Firpo Carr, Carey Harrison, Joe McDonnell and Mario Solis-Marich.

In addition to the usual talk lineup, KTLK airs an increasing number of sports events. For the last five years, it has been the flagship station of the Los Angeles Clippers of the National Basketball Association. In 2006, it inherited weeknight broadcasts of the basketball program at UCLA, as well as all games of the Los Angeles Sparks of the Women's National Basketball Association. Both the Bruins and Sparks were heard on XETRA-AM before that station became Spanish language "W Radio."

History

On February 4, 2005, Clear Channel Communications conducted a far-reaching format swap of three radio stations in the area. The previous format on AM 1150, XTRA Sports, moved to AM 570, where it retains its call letters of KLAC but is referred to on air as simply XTRA Sports 570. AM 690 took on KLAC's previous format, a beautiful music station called The Fabulous 570 and redubbed The Fabulous 690.

Prior to the KTLK calls, AM 1150 was KXTA, or XTRA Sports 1150, which broadcasted sports talk. Before that, it was Fox Sports 1150. Prior to that, it broadcasted contemporary hit music as KIIS.
