KWKW (1330 kHz, "Radio Deportes") is an AM radio station licensed to Los Angeles, California. The station is owned by Lotus Communications Corporation, through licensee Lotus Los Angeles Corp.
KWKW was one of the first Spanish-language radio stations in the Greater Los Angeles area. Currently, the station broadcasts an all-sports format as a network affiliate of ESPN Deportes Radio.
The station operates at 5,000 watts around the clock, although at night, to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 1330, it uses a directional antenna. The studios and offices are on Barham Avenue in Los Angeles. The transmitter is off Chesapeake Avenue, also in Los Angeles.
KWKW is one of the oldest radio stations in Los Angeles, first signing on the air as KJS on March 10, 1922.
KWKW along with KSAN San Francisco and KGST Fresno were among the first Spanish-language radio stations in California. Since the 1950s, KWKW played various forms of Spanish-language music on AM 1300 from its original studios in Pasadena, California. It was the Spanish language station of the Los Angeles Dodgers from their first year in L.A. in 1958 to the 1990s.
In 1989, KWKW traded licences and therefore frequencies with KAZN and this moved KWKW onto the 1330 frequency and moved its studios to Los Angeles. (For much of its history, the AM 1330 dial location in Los Angeles was home to KFAC, along with co-owned KFAC-FM 92.3, serving as the L.A. market's classical music outlets.) With the switch to 1330 AM, KWKW started to focus on Regional Mexican music (including mariachi and banda), calling itself "La Mexicana."
