KRAK 910 CBS Sports Radio Victorville
KRAK-AM originally signed-on carrying a smooth jazz format. On July 31, 2008, CBS Radio announced plans to sell its mid-size and small market stations (including KRAK) to focus more on major market clusters. However, such a sale was never consummated.
On November 15, 2011 KRAK changed their format to sports, branded as "910 ESPN". The previous affiliate, KVFG 103.1FM, went to a stunt of Christmas music, then switched to classic rock.
In September 2012, KRAK will begin a transition to CBS Sports Radio with hourly updates. It will then begin 24-hour broadcasts of the network on Jan. 2, 2013. It is unknown what station, if any, will become the local affiliate for ESPN Radio.

Famous quotes containing the words sports and/or radio:
“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
“There was a girl who was running the traffic desk, and there was a woman who was on the overnight for radio as a producer, and my desk assistant was a woman. So when the world came to an end, we took over.”
—Marya McLaughlin, U.S. television newswoman. As quoted in Women in Television News, ch. 3, by Judith S. Gelfman (1976)
