Owned by Lotus Broadcasting, its studios and offices are on West Flamingo Road in the unincorporated community of Spring Valley in Clark County. The transmitter is off North Martin Luther King Boulevard in North Las Vegas. KRLV airs a sports radio format, mostly carrying the Fox Sports Radio Network. The syndicated "Dan Patrick Show" is heard on weekday mornings.

Programming is also heard on FM translator 98.9 K255CT in Henderson, Nevada.

In 1947, a license for a Las Vegas radio station at 1340 kHz was first applied for. But it took until 1951 for the station to first sign-on.KORK was owned by the Vegas Valley Broadcasting Company, located in the Hotel Thunderbird, and it was powered at only 250 watts. It was an NBC Red Network affiliate, broadcasting a schedule of dramas, comedies, news, sports, game shows, soap operas and big band broadcasts. In 1955, it was bought by the Southwestern Broadcasting Company, which put Channel 3 KORK-TV (now KSNV) on the air in that same year. In 1961 KORK got an FM counterpart, 97.1 KORK-FM (now KXPT).
