KTIL (1590 AM) is a radio station licensed to serve Netarts, Oregon, United States. The station, which began broadcasting in 1947, is currently owned by Alexandra Communications, Inc.
KTIL broadcasts an oldies format. Weekday programming (until February 2013) previously included nationally syndicated talk shows hosted by former United States Senator Fred Thompson, comedian Dennis Miller, actor Jerry Doyle, and Michael Savage, plus a regional show hosted by Tillamook native Lars Larson.
In addition to its regular oldies programming, KTIL broadcasts Oregon State Beavers football games and the occasional Portland Trail Blazers game when a scheduling conflict on KTIL-FM bumps the NBA contest to the AM station. KTIL-FM carries the football games of the rival University of Oregon Ducks.
In September 2008, the station and its then-sister station KTIL-FM announced their disaster preparedness plans, including regularly scheduled information broadcasts, limited broadcasting hours to conserve generator power, and the ability to transmit bilingual emergency messages from county emergency management officials, even in the event of a tsunami.
This station began regular broadcasting on August 16, 1947, as a 250 watt station known as KTIL. KTIL was owned by the Tillamook Broadcasting Company, Inc., with Fred H. Guyton as president and Robert W. Harris as general manager.
