Its broadcast frequency was 1300 kHz. Its call sign changed to KVOR when the station was purchased by the Reynolds Radio Co., founded by Denver radio pioneer Dr. William "Doc" Reynolds. As of 1933, the studio and transmitter were both located at the (Mining Exchange Building ). * At one time, KVOR and KSPZ (Now KKPK) were sister stations owned by Springs Radio, Inc. The studios and transmitter located were just south of downtown Colorado Springs. *1996 — KVOR and KSPZ (now KKPK) were acquired by Triathlon Broadcasting Of Colorado Springs, and combined with KVUU and KSSS (now KCSF). During this time, advertising time on these stations was controlled by Citadel Broadcasting through a Local Marketing Agreement, while the actual broadcast operations were under the control of Triathlon. *1999 — Citadel Broadcasting fully acquired KVOR, KSPZ and KTWK by exchanging KKLI with Triathlon (Now Clear Channel) thus ending the Lease Marketing Agreement. Citadel merged with Cumulus Media on September 16, 2011. *2000 — In order to provide extended coverage to the growing Colorado Springs market, KVOR switched AM frequencies with sister station KCSF (then KTWK) from 1300 AM to its present day 740 AM, broadcasting from a transmitter located in Black Forest, Colorado. This transmitter was temporarily offline during the 2013 Black Forest Fire. The station was known for a long time as "News/Talk 740," "Newsradio 740," and most recently "Colorado Springs' Talk Station." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「KVOR」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
