KORK

During its heyday under the ownership of Donrey Media KORK with an adult contemporary format was among the most popular stations in Las Vegas for the 18+ listenership. Its lineup included well-known disc jockeys, such as Red McIlvaine and Walt Reno.The simulcast morning drive newscasts of KORK AM/FM in the 1970's were among the highest radio news broadcasts in southern Nevada history. During the latter part of the decade the newsroom was led by news director Bill Buckmaster (now news anchor at KUAT-TV in Tucson) and included reporters Jackie Glass (now a District Court Judge in Las Vegas) and Steven L. Herman, currently a Voice of America correspondent in Asia. The trio was frequently heard on NBC radio network newscasts.

KORK later became an big band station similar to KJUL 104.3 FM. KORK changed its call sign to KBAD in 1997 and began airing sports talk radio. It was known briefly as "K-BAD AM 920".
