Guadalupe Rádio 1510 (KSPA)

KSPA is a commercial radio station located in Ontario, California, broadcasting to the Inland Empire area on 1510 AM. KSPA airs a News talk format.From 2002 until March 2010, KSPA aired an adult standards format, known as The SPA, which from February 1, 2007 until March 15, 2010, was simulcast on sister station KFSD, expanding KSPA's signal into San Diego County. The station airs music programs on the weekends, including Big Band Jump with Don Kennedy, Jazz at the spa with Jeff Gehringer, Sounds of Sinatra with Sid Marks, and Radio Deluxe with John Pizzarelli. Prior to 2002, KSPA was classic country station KIKA (the call letters played off KIKF, which was a sister contemporary country station at the time). Before that, it was KMSL, which as of 2008[update] was the only all-sports station ever to broadcast in the Inland Empire market. The morning show was co-hosted by minor league baseball public address announcer David Achord and former National Football League running back Greg Bell. The station was owned by the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes baseball team and its call sign was derived from "muscle," a term associated with the stereotypical strength of athletes. KMSL aired Quakes games as part of its programming, as it does now.Before that, it was the leading Spanish-language radio station in the area, KNSE (pronounced "quince," Spanish for the number fifteen).In November of 2010, program director Jeff Gehringer announced that the talk format failed to find an audience and would be dropped. On November 26, 2010, the day after Thanksgiving, KSPA will begin playing Christmas music. On December 26, the station will return to an adult standards format.
