KGGR (1040 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Dallas, Texas and serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It is owned by MARC Radio Group, through licensee MARC Radio Dallas, LLC, and airs an urban gospel radio format, in place since 1990. The call sign stands for Great Gospel Radio.
KGGR is a daytimer station. By day, it transmits with 3,300 watts; however, since AM 1040 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WHO in Des Moines, Iowa, KGGR must sign-off at night to avoid interference. During critical hours, the station broadcasts at 2,800 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna, located off Military Parkway in South Dallas.[1]
