KIXZ (940 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Amarillo, Texas, airing a news/talk format. It is owned by Townsquare Media, with the license held by Townsquare License, LLC.[2] The studios are on SW 34th Avenue in Amarillo.
By day, KIXZ is powered at 5,000 watts. But 940 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations XEQ Mexico City and CFNV Montreal. So to avoid interference, it reduces power at night to 1,000 watts. It also uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on South Whitaker Road near SE 85th Avenue in Amarillo.[3]
