KSYL

📖 About

KSYL (970 AM), widely known as Talkradio 970 KSYL, is a commercial news and talk radio station licensed to Alexandria, Louisiana, and serving the Central Louisiana region. First hitting the airwaves on June 13, 1946, under the call sign KPDR (derived from the first name of its founder, Sylvan Fox), the station has a rich broadcast history in the state. Over the decades, it underwent several call-letter and frequency adjustments—including changing to KVOB before settling into its long-standing KSYL branding—while firmly establishing itself as a primary source for regional dialogue, breaking news, and political discourse. The station's daily programming schedule features a combination of influential syndicated conservative talk programs and targeted local coverage. Listeners tune in for prominent national names like Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, Dave Ramsey, and regional political commentator Moon Griffon, alongside hourly updates from Fox News Radio. A cornerstone of KSYL’s local lineup is 'Talkback', an interactive call-in program that allows Central Louisiana residents to voice their opinions on pressing local issues, municipal policies, and community developments directly on air. Owned and operated by Cenla Broadcasting, KSYL broadcasts via an AM signal supplemented by local FM translators to ensure clear reception across the Alexandria-Pineville metropolitan area. It caters heavily to politically engaged listeners, local business owners, and news-conscious citizens looking for a mix of national headline coverage and grassroots regional perspectives. Through its digital streaming platforms and mobile apps, the station extends its reach well beyond Central Louisiana, keeping expatriates and distant listeners connected to the heartbeat of Cenla.
