Kkla Radio Station

Since its modest beginning 20 years ago in a small North Hollywood studio, KKLA-FM (99.5) has grown to become the nation's largest Christian teaching and talk radio station. Now based in a spacious Glendale office, the 50,000-watt station that calls itself the "Spirit of Los Angeles" offers around-the-clock broadcasting that emphasizes conservative evangelical values.

Every Sunday evening, men and women from throughout Southern California call a radio station in Glendale to pray on the air with a pastor they have never met. It's "Prayer Time With Pastor Jim" on KKLA-FM (99.5), and callers tell the Rev. Jim Misiuk, senior pastor of Calvary Chapel of Lake Forest in Orange County, about every conceivable human condition: illness, loneliness, unemployment, financial difficulty, marital problems, past wounds and spiritual struggles.
