KXLY (920 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Spokane, Washington. It broadcasts a news/talk radio format with the branding "920 News Now". The station is owned by QueenB Radio, with its license held by Morgan Murphy Media, and its studios and offices are on West Boone Avenue in Spokane.

KXLY uses a non-directional antenna, from a transmitter site off South Regal Street in Spokane.[2] By day, it operates with a power of 20,000 watts, which is reduced to 5,000 watts at night to protect other stations on 920 AM from interference.
