    KLWN (1320 AM) is a radio station broadcasting a News Talk Information format. It is licensed to Lawrence, Kansas, United States. The station is currently owned by Great Plains Media, Inc. and features programming from Fox News Radio, Fox Sports Radio, Compass Media Networks, Premiere Networks, and Westwood One.[2]

    The station also broadcasts University of Kansas football and basketball. KLWN is the flagship radio station of the Jayhawk IMG Sports Network. KLWN is also an affiliate of the Kansas City Royals and carries the entire NCAA Men's Division I Basketball Championship from Westwood One.

    KLWN's FM counterpart is KKSW, which used to have the KLWN call letters and identified itself as "The Music Station, 106."

    The stations were owned for years by Arden Booth, who also served as a Kansas State Senator. Booth had a five-minute daily poetry program called "Poetic License." His son Hank served as general manager, morning news anchor and play-by-play voice of Lawrence High School football games.

    Hank still calls LHS Football with Matt Llewellyn, while Nick Schwerdt and Craig Hershiser broadcast Free State High School Football game. Schwerdt, Derek Johnson and Hershiser additionally call local high school basketball.

    The current local lineup consists of the KLWN Morning News Watch with John Flood and Tyler Jones from 6 to 8 am, According to the Record with Hank Booth from 8 to 9 am, Radio for Grownups with Joel Becker from 9 am to noon, The Clark Howard Show from 12 to 3 pm, and Rock Chalk Sports Talk with Nick Schwerdt and Derek Johnson from 3 to 6 pm.
