KCTE (1510 AM) is a daytime sports radio station, broadcasting from two towers in Independence, Missouri.

[2] In 1994, KCTE became the Kansas City metropolitan area's first station devoted to sports.

With the aid of Union Bank president Jerry Green, KCTE purchased the 50,000-watt WHB and moved its sports operations onto the 810 frequency on October 1, 1999.

After stints as a Hispanic and an alternative rock station (playing a repeating two-hour tape loop), the Hot Talk format debuted in 2001.

Because KCTE shares the same frequency as "clear channel" station WLAC in Nashville, Tennessee; it broadcasts only during the daytime hours.
