The Breakfast Club with Jake

The first voice of the day. Jake Ellis opens the morning with the music he discovered, the calls he didn't expect, and the kind of conversation that makes a long drive to work feel like time well spent. Eclectic, warm, and entirely his own — TBC is the show that built this station's reputation and the one Jake would do for free.

Sounds at Work with KLTB

Six hours of music built for forward momentum. Minimal interruption — just top-and-bottom-of-the-hour IDs, the occasional jingle, and brief commercial breaks that open with a voice and close with a cue. What sets it apart: community endorsements from the people who actually work here. Locals from the marina, the market, the school — dropping in to say hello and remind you that this is still a small town with a big signal.

Drive Time with KLTB

The afternoon shift. Music with more push to it — upbeat, forward-moving, built for the drive down out of the mountains or across the lake road with the windows down. KLTB's version of drive time is still a music-forward experience, not a talk show with songs between the segments. The energy is higher. The transitions are tighter. The view out your window usually does the rest.

The Blue Hour with KLTB

The Tahoe day winds down. The music shifts — more melodic, more spacious, built for dinner tables and open decks and the specific quality of light that happens over the lake around seven in the evening when the Sierra Nevada catch the last of it. Not as quiet as what comes after midnight, not as driven as Drive Time. The Blue Hour is the exhale between the day and the night.

Whispers After Dark with Jake Ellis

The show Jake would describe as the reason he got into radio in the first place. Midnight approaching, the phones open, and Tahoe confesses. He plays what the night calls for — jazz, neo-soul, the quiet things that don't survive daylight. He takes the calls nobody else will. He gives advice he hasn't always managed to follow himself. Whispers After Dark is intimate in the way that only late-night radio can be, and Jake Ellis is the reason it works.

Through the Night with KLTB

The station doesn't sleep. Through the Night carries the overnight hours with a quieter rotation — echoes of the day's best moments, music that suits the specific silence of a lake at 3am, and Overnight Otis holding it all together from the booth above Dollar Point. If you're awake and you can't explain why, this is probably the right place to be.
