History

On March 7, 1989 (1989-03-07), the station first signed on the air. It originally had the call sign KAAR and broadcast at 95.3 MHz. In 1991, it moved to 101.9 MHz, initially called "The Word In Music" and later "Power 101.9", to reflect its Christian rock sound. In July 2001, Power 101.9 changed its name to "Spirit 101.9", also changing its format to a more worship-styled music.

On July 4, 2005, after seeing its ratings drop, Spirit 101.9 was changed back to Christian rock and called "101.9 Spirit FM". As of May 2008, KTSL is broadcasting the Air 1 Radio Network, an adult contemporary format playing well established songs combined with worship music. The KTSL call letters were once used on channel 2 in Los Angeles, now KCBS-TV.
