History
1490 AM signed on in 1952 as the original KVOZ. It broadcast with 250 watts. Barely a year after signing on, KVOZ attempted a move to 1240 kHz that was contingent on KGBS, the existing station at 1240 (now defunct), surrendering its license; this was denied. Power was increased to 1,000 watts in 1970.
In 1988, KVOZ finally got its move and headed for newly built 890 AM. 1490 was relaunched as KDOS at that time and became KLNT in 1998, coinciding with a relaunch as a news/talk station.
gollark: They *are* quite well-documented as mostly using horrible hybrids of nginx (400 lines of config now, and also I had to compile a custom build myself), Python, Node.js, and some static site compilers.
gollark: And I *did* use Golang in my foolish youth.
gollark: Palaiologos is clearly trying to deflect from the real point here, which is that they secretly use rust for all things.
gollark: As you're my alt, and that means you're also me, and I like Rust and dislike C, you obviously must like rust and dislike C, but be too ashamed to admit it.
gollark: Apparently yes.
