KHTK (1140 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Sacramento, California. KHTK broadcasts a sports radio format as "Sactown Sports 1140" and is an affiliate of the CBS Sports Radio network. It is owned by Salt Lake City–based Bonneville International, a profit-making subsidiary of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The studios and offices are on Commerce Circle in North Sacramento, just north of the American River. KHTK is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM radio stations. Because AM 1140 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A XEMR in Monterrey, Mexico, and WRVA in Richmond, Virginia, KHTK must broadcast with a directional antenna at all times to avoid interference, using a five-tower array. The transmitter is on Rising Road in Wilton, California. KHTK is the second Sacramento AM station, after KIID, to broadcast using the HD Radio hybrid format. The signal is audible as far north as Redding, as far south as Monterey and into the suburbs of San Francisco. It is also simulcast on the third HD subchannel of sister station KNCI. Programming lineup Weekdays begin with "The Carmichael Dave Show with Jason Ross" in morning drive time. In middays, two CBS Sports Radio nationally syndicated shows are heard: Los Angeles-based "The Jim Rome Show" followed by The Herd with Colin Cowherd. KHTK has a local afternoon drive show featuring Nick Cattles along with Ramie Makhlouf. At night and weekends, when there is no live game scheduled, KHTK carries CBS Sports Radio shows. KHTK serves as flagship station for Sacramento Kings NBA basketball (whose team colors are the same as the station’s logos) and UC Davis Aggies football. Also heard are Oakland Athletics baseball, Las Vegas Raiders football and San Jose Sharks hockey. History Early years KHTK first signed on the air on November 12, 1926. It carried the call sign KGDM. The station was originally owned by Hercules Broadcasting, licensed to Stockton, California, and operating at 1130 kHz with 1,000 watts of power. Initially it was a daytimer, required to go off the air from sunset to sunrise. The 1941 North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement required the station to move its frequency. KGDM switched to 1140 kHz with 5,000 watts, now authorized to broadcast full-time. In 1957, the station changed calletters to KRAK, increased power to 50,000 watts and flipped to a Top 40 format.
