KSPD (790 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a Christian talk and teaching radio format in Boise, Idaho. The station is owned by Inspirational Family Radio.[5] The studios are on South Weideman Avenue in Boise.

By day, KSPD is powered at 1,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna.[6] But to protect other stations on 790 AM from interference, it reduces power at night to 61 watts. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator K233DE at 94.5 MHz.[7]
