KRLN began broadcasting on September 24, 1947. For many years, KRLN signed off much earlier than other stations on the 1400 AM frequency, as a "Specified Hours" station. It wasn't until 1972 that KRLN was authorized for 24-hour operation.
Notable KRLN alumni include Gary Paxton, who went on to become a market-leading air personality in the burgeoning Pueblo, Colorado market. Former KRLN jock Jack Stevens went on to become a top-rated night jock on KYSN Colorado Springs. And Randy "Randy Jay" Saviano became well known at several Denver stations, including KDZA and KIMN.
