KSEV (700 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Tomball, Texas, and serving Greater Houston. It broadcasts a talk radio format and is owned by Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick. (Patrick is not related to sports radio and TV host Dan Patrick.) The studios and offices are on Katy Freeway (I-10) in Houston.[2] The transmitter is off FM 2978 in Magnolia, Texas.[3]
AM 700 is a clear-channel frequency reserved for WLW in Cincinnati, a Class A, 50,000-watt station. While KSEV operates with 15,000 watts by day, it must reduce power at night to 1,000 watts to avoid interference. There are only thirteen other stations in the United States that broadcast on 700 kHz.
