History
The 1480 frequency in the 1960s and 1970s was known as KLEO and for many years was Wichita's most popular Top 40 station.[citation needed]
Until January 2010, KQAM was owned by The Walt Disney Company and was Wichita's Radio Disney affiliate. It was announced on November 16, 2009 that Disney/ABC will be selling KQAM to Steckline Communications. According to Greg Steckline, the owner of the said company, he wasn't aiming for a purchase but "this one just kind of happened. We just happened to be in the right place at the right time." Steckline paid $350,000 for KQAM. On January 6, 2010, at 1pm Central time, KQAM unveiled the lineup for its talk format as a companion to its sister station KGSO.
Steckline Communications also owns KIUL (Garden City, Kansas), KYUL (Scott City, Kansas), and KGYN (Guymon, Oklahoma).[1]
Lineup
As of January 2010[update], programming on KQAM includes talk shows hosted by Don Imus, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Dr. Laura, John Gibson, Joe Scarborough, Phil Hendrie, and Jim Bohannon.[2]
