KIRV (1510 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Spanish-language Christian radio format. It is licensed to Fresno, California and is owned by Centro Cristiano Viva Abundante, Inc.[2]
By day, KIRV is powered at 10,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a two-tower array. But 1510 AM is a clear channel frequency, so the station must sign off the air at sunset. This requirement was originally instituted to protect the signal of KGA in Spokane, Washington, a former Class A clear channel station on 1510 kHz.
