KFIA (710 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching format. Licensed to Carmichael, California, the station serves the Sacramento metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by New Inspiration Broadcasting Company, Inc. which is a part of Salem Media Group.[2]
KFIA is powered at 25,000 watts by day. But because 710 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KIRO Seattle and WOR New York City, KFIA must greatly reduce power at night to 1,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is off North Foothills Boulevard at Athens Avenue in Rocklin.[3] KFIA programming is also heard on 250 watt FM translator K289CT 105.7 MHz in Sacramento.[4]
