KHJ (930 kHz) is an AM radio station licensed to Los Angeles, California. Owned and operated by Immaculate Heart Radio, through licensee IHR Educational Broadcasting, the station broadcasts Roman Catholic religious programming as an affiliate of the radio network.
KHJ broadcasts at 5,000 watts, with a non-directional signal by day but using a directional antenna at night to protect other stations on AM 930. KHJ's transmitter is triplexed to three of the six towers of KBLA (1580 kHz), near the intersection of Sunset Boulevard and Alvarado Street in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Radio station KYPA (1230 kHz) also uses two of KBLA's towers for its signal. KHJ's former towers at the intersection of Venice and Fairfax Avenue were removed in February 2013.
KHJ was a nationally noted Top 40 station from 1965 to 1980. KHJ switched to country music in 1980 and back to pop music in 1983. In 1986 the station switched its call letters to KRTH, adopting an oldies radio format as a sister station to 101.1 KRTH-FM. Two years later the station was sold to Liberman Broadcasting and a format of Regional Mexican music aired from 1990 to November 2014.
