About station About Talk 650 KSTE - Where Sacramento Comes To Talk
KSTE (650 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. Licensed to Rancho Cordova, California, United States, the station serves the Sacramento metropolitan area.
Owned by iHeartMedia, KSTE's studios are in North Sacramento near the Arden Fair Mall, while the transmitter is sited southeast of the city in Vineyard, California. KSTE is also the flagship station for the Athletics baseball team during the team's stint in West Sacramento. The station went on the air in 1991. Initially a Spanish-language station simulcasting KRCX under the call signs KMCE and KRDX, the talk format and KSTE call sign launched in 1992 after Fuller-Jeffrey Broadcasting, which had already programmed the station, bought full control. A series of ownership changes in 1996 and 1997 put KSTE under the ownership of first American Radio Systems and then Chancellor Media; additional mergers in the late 1990s led to Clear Channel Communications, the predecessor to iHeartMedia, taking over the station in 2000. KSTE is programmed as a "second tier" talk station, secondary to KFBK and KFBK-FM. While most of the KFBK schedule is hosted by local personalities, KSTE features nationally syndicated talk shows.
