Pollack, with the license held by Las Vegas Broadcasting LLC. The studios and offices are on South Jones Boulevard at West Sahara Avenue in Las Vegas.

History

The station first signed on the air in 1954. Its original call sign was KBMI, licensed to Henderson, Nevada. The station originally broadcast with only 250 watts. The studios were on South First Street in Las Vegas.

On May 10, 1978, the station changed its call letters to KVEG, standing for "Vegas." It changed its city of license to North Las Vegas in 1980.

On March 10, 1986, the call sign was changed to KFMS. The call letters KRAM were assigned on February 1, 1988, but was not used.

In the mid 1990s, it became a children's radio station, switching its call sign to KKDD on April 26, 1995. It joined the national children's network Aahs World Radio. It switched to KSHP on October 29, 1996. Also in 1996, it began broadcasting from a new, less complex non-directional site amidst warehouses in North Las Vegas.

KSHP has previously been part of the radio networks for the Arizona Diamondbacks, the Las Vegas Silver Bandits, the Denver Broncos, the BYU Cougars Sports Network and the Dallas Cowboys.

KSHP formerly ran a home shopping format, known as "K-SHOP, the Radio Shopping Show". Over time, as the internet has taken larger pieces of the direct to consumer sector, the format evolved into its current form.

Programming

KSHP carries sports shows from Sports Byline USA. It also carries play-by-play from USC Trojans football and the Los Angeles Rams.
