KLAC

KLAC AM 570 is a radio station serving the Los Angeles metropolitan area. KLAC is one of eight Los Angeles radio stations owned by San Antonio-based iHeartMedia, Inc.

The station is co-located with its sister stations in suburban Burbank, and its transmitter is located on a site in the Lincoln Heights neighborhood of Los Angeles, east of downtown.

Since January 2009, the station has been the flagship of Fox Sports Radio and now originates most of the networks' programming, The Petros and Money Show, and Jay Mohr Sports. In 2015, the station was partly acquired by the Los Angeles Dodgers and re-branded as AM 570 LA Sports.

KLAC can be heard in HD on 570 AM and also on KYSR HD2.

History

Early years

KLAC began as KFPG in 1924. In 1925 it became KMTR after new owner K.M. Turner, a radio dealer. In 1946, Dorothy Schiff, publisher of the New York Post, bought the station and renamed it KLAC. The station was purchased by Metromedia in 1963. They ran a pop music format from the 1950s into the 1960s, similar to other AM Metromedia stations. KLAC at different times featured the talents of Les Crane, Louis Nye, and Lohman and Barkley.
