KTYM, formerly owned by Trans America Broadcasting, aired a mix of religious talk shows and paid programming. On March 17, 2014, Trans America reached a deal to sell KTYM to IHR Educational Broadcasting, operator of the Immaculate Heart Radio network.[1][2] However, the KTYM purchase was put on hold. On July 22, 2014, Immaculate Heart Radio announced the purchase of Spanish-language KHJ, which switched formats to Catholic religious programming.[3] In March 2015, the sale of KTYM to Immaculate Heart Radio was approved by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC).[4] In September 2015, KTYM was sold to El Sembrador Ministries and became a Radio Católica affiliate. El Sembrador Ministries operates six other radio stations in California and Mexico and one station in Chicago.[5]
