History
KXNT originally signed on the air in 1986 with the call letters KVEG, and a talk/sports format.
KVEG had a wide variety of drive-time talent including Sam Greenfield, Dominick Brascia, Lou Epton, Irwin Schiff and the syndicated Tom Leykis. In 1997, KVEG changed its calls to KXNT. Management was looking to head the station in a new direction. KXNT AM 840 would begin airing syndicating programs like Rush Limbaugh and Coast to Coast AM previously heard on rival station KDWN. Others included Dr. Laura and Bill Handel.
