KLZ (560 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Denver, Colorado. It airs a conservative talk radio format and is owned by Crawford Broadcasting, with studios on South Parker Road in Aurora. It is the oldest radio station in the state of Colorado, and one of the oldest in the United States.[2][user-generated source?]

KLZ is a Class B station powered at 5,000 watts. To avoid interfering with other stations on 560 AM, it uses a directional antenna with a two-tower array. The transmitter is on Niver Creek Trail off Steele Street in Welby. The signal covers much of the population center of Colorado, from Fort Collins to Colorado Springs and Pueblo.[3] The station is licensed to broadcast using HD Radio technology.[4][5] In addition, listeners in Denver can hear KLZ programming on 99-watt FM translator K264BO at 100.7 MHz.[6]
