KLVI (560 kHz, "News Talk 560") is a commercial AM radio station in Beaumont, Texas. It broadcasts a Talk Radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia, Inc. The radio studios and offices were located southeast of the I-10/US 69 interchange in Beaumont.
By day, KLVI is powered at 5,000 watts non-directional. But at night, to protect other stations on 560 AM, it uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is off Tower Road in Bridge City, Texas.[2]
Programming
Weekdays begin with "The Morning Show" hosted by Al Caldwell, who has been with KLVI for more than four decades. He is followed by nationally syndicated shows including Glenn Beck, "Clay Travis & Buck Sexton," Sean Hannity, Michael Berry, "The Ramsey Show," "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory" and "America in the Morning."
Weekends feature shows on health, money, technology and cars. Syndicated shows include Kim Komando, "Somewhere in Time with Art Bell" and "Live on Sunday Night, It's Bill Cunningham" as well as repeats of weekday shows. Most hours begin with world and national news from Fox News Radio.
History
On October 1, 1924, the station first signed on the air as KFDM. It was the first radio station in Southeast Texas. In the 1930s, it was owned by the Sabine Broadcasting Company with studios in the million-dollar Hotel Beaumont.[3] In the 30s, it was powered at 1,000 watts by day and 500 watts at night.
The station was assigned the call sign KLVI by the Federal Communications Commission in February 1964.[4] At a time when KLVI was broadcasting music, on-air personality Al Caldwell was credited with booking the first public performance ever played by ZZ Top, at a Knights of Columbus hall in Beaumont on February 10, 1970.[5]
