KBET (790 kHz "103.1 The Hu$tle") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Winchester, Nevada, and broadcasting to the Las Vegas Valley. It airs an urban contemporary format. It is owned by Silver State Broadcasting LLC, is operated by Autopilot FM and has studios in the unincorporated Clark County community of Enterprise..
KBET broadcasts with 1,000 watts by day, reducing power to 300 watts at night to avoid interfering with other stations on 790 AM. The transmitter is off Telephone Pole Road in Whitney, Nevada.[1] KBET is also heard on FM translator 103.1 MHz K276GX in Las Vegas.[2]
On, the station first signed on the air.[3] Diamond Broadcasting spent $2.5 million to acquire the station's construction permit before it even was on the air.
On May 29, 2009, the Las Vegas Sun reported that the station had been sold to Silver State Communications LLC, and that the format would be changed to Sports radio. KBET later aired a Classic Country format, using the slogan: "Country Legends 790."
KBET began broadcasting a talk format on April 19, 2012.[4] It carried nationally syndicated conservative talk shows most of the day, mainly from Westwood One. Shows included Chris Plante, Dan Bongino and "Red Eye Radio." In addition, "Armstrong & Getty" from KSTE Sacramento was heard in morning drive time. Alex Jones from the Genesis Communications Network aired early weekday and weekend mornings and Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis was heard in late evenings. Most hours began with an update from Fox News Radio.
In 2024, the station was off the air for a period of time as Autopilot FM made plans to start an urban contemporary format on the signal. The main goal was to feed the FM translator, giving listeners in Las Vegas an FM station playing hip hop music and recent urban hits.
