XX Sports Radio – XEPRS

Sportstalk radio in Southern California has travelled a long and winding road, a road that began in Mexico, to a signal that carries up and down the West Coast. The Border Blaster signals of Mexico radio became all sports radio for San Diego and Los Angeles starting with seeds planted in 1987 that sprouted in 1990. XTRA-Sports-690 built its legend as the first on the West Coast. XX-1090 carries on the tradition today.Sportstalk radio began as a fulltime format in 1987 in New York City, with WFAN-1050, on a 50,000-watt directional signal that was WHN. As the format grew, it shifted frequencies, taking over the legendary 660-signal that once belonged to WNBC. WFAN pioneered sportstalk radio for the nation in New York. San Diego and Los Angeles were right behind, putting the second all sports format on the air in this country, but in a very challenging environment.XTRA 690, with its towers in Rosarito Beach, began in the 1950s, as a music station, under the Mexican call letters XETRA.
