History

[edit]

On June 1, 2012, KLWB-FM changed its format from classic rock (as "Snap 103.7) to sports radio, branded as "103.7 The Game".

On February 7, 2022, KLWB-FM began simulcasting on KLCJ 104.1 FM in Oak Grove.[3] The KLCJ simulcast brings KLWB-FM's sports programming into the Lake Charles radio market.

On June 26, 2023, KLWB-FM and KLCJ became ESPN Radio Affiliates and also picked up Matt Moscona's After Further Review for their afternoon drive programming [4]
