KXCB (1420 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a country music format. Licensed to Omaha, Nebraska, the station serves the Omaha–Council Bluffs metropolitan area. It is owned and operated by Steven Seline, through licensee Hickory Radio, LLC.[2] The studios and offices are on Burt Street near North 120th Street and Dodge Road in West Omaha.

By day, KXCB is powered at 1,000 watts. But at night, to protect other stations on 1420 AM from interference, it reduces power to 330 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times with a two-tower array. The transmitter is in Council Bluffs, off South 36th Street, near the Missouri River.[3] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator K293CX at 106.5 MHz in Council Bluffs.[4]
