KNWZ (970 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Coachella, California. It simulcasts a news/talk format with sister stations 1140 KNWQ and 1250 KNWH. It is owned by Alpha Media.[2] The studios are on North Gene Autry Trail (California State Route 111) in Palm Springs.
By day, KNWZ is powered at 5,000 watts. But to avoid interference to other stations on 970 AM, KNWZ must reduce power at night to 360 watts.[3] It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. Programming is also heard on several FM translators in the Coachella Valley.
