KXMX
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
KXMX is a multi-ethnic AM radio station licensed to Anaheim, California, and broadcasting at a frequency of 1190.
KXMX was originally the call sign of an adult contemporary station at 95.9 FM. When that outlet became KFSH (the Fish) in 2001, the calls were re-assigned to 1190 AM.
Among the languages of shows on KXMX are Spanish, Chinese, Korean, Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese, and Tagalog. It can be thought of as a radio version of KSCI television.
Ownership is in the hands of Salem Communications as a sister station to KRLA 870 AM, KKLA 99.5 FM, and of course KFSH. Salem bought KFSH and KXMX, as well as 1240 AM KEZY, from Clear Channel Communications in 1997; Clear Channel had exceeded the limit of the number of stations it could own in the greater Los Angeles area when it bought Jacor.
Before Jacor bought the station in 1995, it was owned by a local company called Anaheim Broadcasting. At one point in the late 1980s, it was KNWZ (K-News), with, of course, an all-news format. It broadcast a few games of the Los Angeles Kings hockey team during conflicts with KLAC, the Kings' flagship station at the time. In fact, in one of those games (October 15, 1989), Wayne Gretzky established the National Hockey League's all-time point-scoring record.
