KECR (910 AM) is a radio station licensed to El Cajon, California and serving the San Diego radio market. Owned by Family Radio, it carries a Christian talk and teaching radio format, along with traditional hymns and worship music. Programming comes from Family Radio, based in Franklin, Tennessee and contains music by artists such as Fernando Ortega, Keith & Kristyn Getty, CityAlight, Steven Curtis Chapman, Sovereign Grace Music, and Don Moen as well as teaching by religious leaders & pastors such as R.C. Sproul, John MacArthur, and John Piper.

KECR broadcasts at 5,000 watts, using a directional antenna. The transmitter site is near Moreno Avenue, north of Lakeside, California, near California State Route 67. No local programming originates here, as the station airs the Family Radio Network continuously, except for the station identification. It does however, have a backup radio studio at its transmission site, which is mainly used to carry out messages from the Emergency Alert System. The seven-tower array transmitter site is shared with AM 1170 KCBQ, another Christian Radio station, owned by the Salem Media Group.
