KWKW is a commercial Spanish language radio station licensed to serve Los Angeles, California, featuring a sports format known as "Tu Liga Radio 1330". Owned by Lotus Communications, the station services Greater Los Angeles and much of surrounding Southern California, and since September 2019 has been the Los Angeles affiliate for Univision's TUDN Radio. Having adopted the current sports format on October 1, 2005, KWKW is the Spanish language flagship station for multiple Los Angeles professional sports franchises including the Rams, Lakers, Clippers, Kings, Angels and the LA Galaxy. KWKW itself is Southern California's oldest Spanish language radio station, having begun operations in 1941 at 1430 AM and licensed to Pasadena and transferring to 1300 AM—also based in Pasadena—in 1950. KWKW's programming and call sign moved to 1330 AM from 1300 AM in 1989 following Lotus' acquisition of the former and sale of the latter.
