KWKY (1150 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a Catholic talk and teaching format. Its city of license is Des Moines, Iowa, and is owned by St. Gabriel Communications, through licensee Trinity Communications, Inc. Most of the schedule is nationally syndicated shows from EWTN Radio and Ave Maria Radio.[2]
KWKY broadcasts by day at 2,500 watts.[3] To avoid interfering with other stations on the regional broadcast frequency of AM 1150, it reduces power at night to 1,000 watts and uses a directional antenna at all times. The station is also heard on FM translator station K233BT 94.5 MHz in Des Moines.[4]
