KENO (AM)
KENO-AM 1460 is a sports/talk station in Las Vegas owned by the Lotus Broadcasting Corporation and featuring programming from the Fox Sports Network. KENO played top 40 from the 1950s to the early 1980s, using the slogan "Music Radio 1460" in the 1960s & 1970s.
KENO also operated at 92.3 FM until 1982 when it changed its call sign to KOMP and began playing album-oriented rock. KENO 1460 swicthed to AC/oldies in the early 1980s and then went to the straight oldies format in the latter part of the decade around 1987-1988. The oldies format lasted until 1993.
KENO is the Las Vegas affiliate of the Jim Rome Show. The station is locally infamous for sloppy board work and interminable patches of dead air. Listeners are frequently treated to top-of-the-hour announcements that originate with the relevant syndicator and are not intended for over-the-air broadcast. Examples include "You are tuned to Premiere 2. The Jim Rome Show will begin at 6 minutes past the hour on the Premiere Radio Networks", which is routinely repeated every few seconds. Other snafus include failures to broadcast scheduled shows at certain times and the playing of multiple programs simultaneously.
