History
The station first
In 1969, the station was bought by Southwestern Broadcasters, which switched the call sign to KBRN and the format to Christian radio.[3] In 1982, the station was acquired by Interstate Broadcasting Systems (who owned KYMS in Santa Ana at the time), which changed the call letters to KLTT (coupled with adopting the 80 K-Light moniker) but continued the religious format. Interstate Broadcasting Systems would sell KLTT to Mortenson Broadcasting Company in 1988.
Crawford Broadcasting bought the station for $700,000 in 1993.
In February 2006, KLDC moved one spot up the dial to 810 kHz.
On August 1, 2011, KLVZ went off the air. There was no word if the station was off the air permanently. The station's website indicated July 31, 2011 was the final day of broadcast. The website thanked listeners, and told them to tune to other Crawford Broadcasting stations.[6]
In October 2016, KLVZ, whose gospel format had moved to
On April 13, 2020, KLVZ added a new simulcast translator on 95.3 FM (K237GG) to help boost the station's signal into downtown Denver. The station rebranded as Legends 95.3 FM, 810 AM, and refocused its playlist on oldies from the 50's, 60's and 70's, some of them little-played as compared to the much tighter playlists of other oldies stations.[8] KLVZ also plays an hourly "legendary flashback" in its rotation, which consists of an adult standard.
