History

This station began their broadcasts as KIPA in 1947 through various formats. The most recent format was oldies/adult standards music that has featured programing from ABC Radio's "Timeless Favorites" satellite feed. Unfortunately in 2007, its previous owner Skynet had to sign KIPA off the air last year after the station lost its transmitter lease. Its current owners brought the station back on the air with a new callsign and new format that features programming from Sean Hannity, Dr. Laura Schlessinger, Michael Savage, among other hosts.
