KLGN (1390 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a sports format. Licensed to Logan, Utah, United States, the station is currently owned by Sun Valley Radio, Inc.[2]
History
[edit]The station first signed on the air in 1954, originally operating under the call sign KBLQ. [3] It maintained these call letters for over three decades until January 1, 1988, when it officially transitioned to the current KLGN call sign.[4][5][6] The station is currently owned by Sun Valley Radio, Inc., a subsidiary of the Cache Valley Media Group, which operates the station alongside several FM properties in the Northern Utah market.[7][8] In 2021, the licensee filed for a formal renewal of its broadcast license to ensure continued operations through the end of the decade. [9] Historically, KLGN was known for a "Soft Adult Contemporary" format (often branded as "Lite 1390"), but on October 1, 2018, it shifted to its current sports-talk format. [10] KLGN was known for is collaboration with Utah State University's broadcast journalism department to provide practical experience for students.[11] The station carries Utah State Aggies women's basketball, carrying both home and away games.[12]
Translators
[edit]In addition to the main station, KLGN is relayed by a translator on the FM band to widen its broadcast area.
