KLSQ

KLSQ (870 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Spanish Variety format. Licensed to Whitney, Nevada, USA, it primarily serves the Las Vegas area. The station is currently owned by KLSQ-AM License Corporation and features programming from Univision Radio.

KLSQ began as KROL in 1986. KROL was founded by "Laughlin Roughrider Broadcasting" and operated from two tower sites. A three tower operation was built in Laughlin for a 10,000 watt day and 1,000 watt night operation, using two different, three-tower directional antenna system. The other site was near Henderson, NV and was the KROL experimental synchronous transmitter using a non directional antenna by day and a three-tower directional system by night. After the 840 AM went on in the area, measurements were made showing that a power increase would not cause prohibited overlap with KROL on 870. This allowed an increase to 5,000 watts days (still at 500 watts nights).

Both sites used diesel generators to make all of the power to broadcast.
