Station history
KWWN officially signed on in December 2007, and was running tests of its transmitter for several months. These tests were mainly to arrange the nighttime directional signal of the station, so it would not interfere with nearby KNZZ or other stations on 1100 kHz. While testing, the station ran at half power (10,000 watts day and 1,000 watts night) to further limit the possibility of interference. 1100 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, on which WTAM in Cleveland, Ohio is the dominant Class A station. KWWN is currently running at its normal power.[1][2]
Originally, KWWN simulcast sister station KBAD. Sometime in 2008, the simulcast ended; KBAD became the local affiliate of Fox Sports Radio, while KWWN picked up the ESPN Radio affiliation. KENO, which had been the FSR station, joined ESPN Deportes Radio.[3]
KWWN is the flagship station of the Las Vegas Aces of the Women's National Basketball Association.[4] Before the start of the 2018–19 season, the station was named as an affiliate of the Los Angeles Lakers Radio Network as Las Vegas doesn't have a team in the National Basketball Association
