KKVV (1060 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a religious radio format.[1] Licensed to Las Vegas, Nevada, United States, it serves the Las Vegas area. The station is currently[when?] owned by Las Vegas Broadcasters and features programming from Salem Communications.[2]
History
The station began broadcasting in May 1990 and primarily focused on airing brokered Christian talk and teaching programs with music.[3] By 1994, about six hours of each day's 14 hours of broadcasting was locally produced.[4]
To prevent interference to Los Angeles station KNX, a 50,000 watt clear-channel station on adjacent channel 1070, KKVV lowers its power significantly at sunset.
