Name: KSDO (Radio station : San Diego, Calif.)
Historical Note: In the 1950s, KSDO was the only San Diego AM station with an all classical music format. In the 1960s, KSDO (owned then by Sherwood R. Gordon) had a Beautiful Music format. From at least the mid-1970s through its flip to Spanish religious broadcasting talk, KSDO had some sort of news, talk, or financial talk format. It was also the flagship station of the San Diego Chargers during its "Air Coryell" years (early 1980s). The station was formerly owned by Chase Media Properties and was also part-owned by Clear Channel Communications airing business talk. Chase Media sold KSDO to Nueva Vida and it became a Radio Nueva Vida station.
