KLIF (570 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Dallas, Texas. The station is owned by Cumulus Media and broadcasts a news/talk format to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.^[2] The studios are in the Victory Park district in Dallas, just north of downtown.

KLIF broadcasts with 5,000 watts by day, but decreases its power to 2,400 watts at night to protect other stations on 570 kHz. Its transmitter site is shared with co-owned 1310 kHz KTCK, on Ledbetter Road in Irving.^[3] It uses a directional antenna at all times, with a two-tower array. Programming is also heard on the HD Radio digital subchannel of co-owned 96.3 KSCS-HD2.

KLIF is one of the two talk stations owned by Cumulus in the Dallas Metroplex. Sister stations 820 kHz WBAP and 93.3 WBAP-FM have mostly local hosts while much of KLIF's schedule is made up of nationally syndicated talk shows. KLIF's sole local weekday program is a morning news and information show co-hosted by Clayton Neville and Laura Sadler. The rest of the day, KLIF carries "Markley, Van Camp, & Robbins", Ben Shapiro, Sean Hannity, Michael J. Knowles, Jim Bohannon and "Coast to Coast AM with George Noory". Weekends include shows on money, health, gardening, home repair and cars, as well as brokered programming. Syndicated weekend hosts include Dana Loesch and Bill Cunningham. Most hours begin with Fox News Radio.
