98.5 KLUC has been a long time
Top 40 station in Las Vegas. They were originally owned by Western Cities, sold to Nationwide in 1985, ARS in 1995, and thenCBS Radio who owns them today.Up until 1978 they simulcasted with sister station 1140 AM. They briefly returned to a simulcast in 1990. From the mid-1970s to 1983, KLUC was a rock leaning Top 40. During the early 1980s, KLUC would often
boycott urban crossovers; for example, "Celebration" byKool and the Gang . In 1977 KLUC experimented with a "Disco Format" in the evenings but it was short lived. This changed in the fall of 1983 when KLUC added a lot ofR&B anddance product. KLUC "leaned dance" through the rest of the 1980s and early 1990s before officially shifting to Rhythmic CHR in 1993. Through their many years of being a rhythmic KLUC would occasionally add big pop crossover hits. This was especially true during the late 1990s when KLUC heavily played theboy band s that were popular during that era.At one time in the 1970s and early 1980s, KLUC had studios located on the
Howard Hughes property at the Frontier Hotel.On
September 11 ,2001 , after the World Trade Center attacks, KLUC stopped playing music and devoted the next couple of days to news and took calls from listeners on their reaction to World Trade Center Attacks in New York City.Current DJ's
