KIXW is based in Victorville, California, United States, broadcasting on 960 AM (also known locally as "Talk 960"; the station was a long-time CBS Radio affiliate for many years). The station is affiliated with Talk Radio Network but also carries The Rush Limbaugh Show and Coast to Coast AM.
Until recently, KIXW had a locally based talk-show, "The Barb Stanton Show", which first went on air in late 2003. The show was cancelled in mid-May 2007 after Ms. Stanton made comments on the air regarding what she perceived as the massive influx of Asian-Americans into the Victor Valley. The comments were prompted when she found out that a Victorville-based bank was about to be bought out by Pasadena-based East West Bank (owned by Dominic Ng, a third-generation Asian-American resident of Pasadena). Stanton now broadcasts a show from Loma Linda-based KCAA.
