It is owned by Bicoastal Media and it airs a talk radio format, known as "Newsradio 1120 and 93.7". The studios and offices are on Valley River Drive in Eugene. KPNW and Portland's KOPB-FM are Oregon's primary entry point for the Emergency Alert System.
KPNW is a Class B station. It is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. As 1120 AM is a clear channel frquency reserved for Class A station KMOX in St. Louis, KPNW uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array full time to avoid interference.
