KXST (CBS Sports Radio AM 1140) is a radio station licensed to North Las Vegas, Nevada, broadcasting to the Las Vegas, Nevada area on 1140 AM. The station is owned by CBS Radio. The station's studios are located in the unincorporated Clark County area of Spring Valley, while its transmitter is near Nellis Air Force Base.
KXST (AM 1140) is not licensed by the FCC to broadcast in the HD (digital) format. KXST can also be heard on 107.5 FM HD3 (KXTE).
1140 AM was known as KRSR "The Krusher", a heavy metal-formatted station in the 1980s, whose DJ is a robotic voice similar to that of the Cylon voice used on Battlestar Galactica.
Before that, 1140 used the call letters KMJJ and was known as Magic 11 through the 80s. The station ran a unique format, with voice tracks from major market air talent, and an uptempo mix of oldies and current songs. Air talent included Charlie & Harrigan, Kelly & Kline, Steve Goddard, Rick Shaw, Bobby Ocean, and Wolfman Jack. The station was at one time the flagship for UNLV football and basketball. In 1989, 1140 AM began simulcasting 98.5 FM KLUC until 1993.
In 1993, 1140 became KXNO "Casino Radio". It was mostly tourist information. In 1997, KXNO switched to KSFN "Sports 1140" for two years from 1997 to 1999 (during which the station acted as a flagship for Frank Andrews's and Papa Joe Chevalier's national shows on the Sports Fan Radio Network).
