KTNQ (1020 AM) is a Spanish commercial radio station licensed to Los Angeles, California, United States, serving the Greater Los Angeles. Owned by Latino Media Network, KTNQ features an Adult Contemporary and Classic Regional Mexican music format, with studios on West Olive Avenue in Burbank and transmitter sited in the City of Industry.
From its original licensing on March 13, 1925 until 1955 it was called KFVD. The station was originally restricted in its broadcast hours, signing off at local sunset to protect KDKA Pittsburgh from nighttime sky wave interference. Later, the FCC allowed geographically spread daytime stations to operate at night with a directional pattern away from the previously protected station. 1020 kHz in Los Angeles was then allowed to operate as a 24 hour station.
