History

1140 AM was known as KRSR "The Krusher", a heavy metal-formatted station in the 1980s, whose DJ is a robotic voice similar to that of the Cylon voice used on Battlestar Galactica.

Before that, 1140 used the call letters KMJJ and was known as Magic 11 through the 80s. The station ran a unique format, with voice tracks from major market air talent, and an uptempo mix of oldies and current songs. Air talent included Charlie & Harrigan, Kelly & Kline, Steve Goddard, Rick Shaw, Bobby Ocean, and Wolfman Jack. The station was at one time the flagship for UNLV football and basketball. In 1989, 1140 AM began simulcasting 98.5 FM KLUC until 1993.
