KDMR (1190 AM) is a radio station licensed to Kansas City, Missouri, serving the Kansas City metropolitan area. The station is owned by the Catholic Radio Network, Inc.[2] It airs a Roman Catholic religious radio format. KDMR airs both local shows and national programming from EWTN Radio.

KDMR operates with 5000 watts by day. Because AM 1190 is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KEX in Portland, Oregon, KDMR must reduce power at night to 500 watts to avoid interference. Programming is simulcast on FM translator station K237GQ in Kansas City, Kansas, at 95.3 MHz.[3]
