KLDC 1220 is Crawford Broadcasting’s Denver station for Christian talk and teaching, and the frequency has a long Denver history of its own. It signed on in September 1954 as KFSO, became KBNO in 1977, KLVZ in 1999 and KLDC on September 10, 2007. While sister station KLTT leans on national programs, KLDC airs local ministries and preachers along with syndicated teachers like David Jeremiah and Charles Stanley. It runs 1,000 watts by day and just 12 watts at night to protect Mexican clear-channel stations.

Catalog note: Wikipedia lists this facility as KFSO from 1954, while the archive’s KFSC page (Paco Sanchez, signed on June 5, 1954, at 1220) describes a station on the same frequency. The relationship between KFSO and KFSC needs checking against FCC records.
