KBRT (740 AM, known on-air as K-BRITE) is a Southern Californian radio station. It airs a Christian talk and teaching radio format and is owned by Crawford Broadcasting. It is licensed to Costa Mesa, California, and serves Los Angeles and Orange counties and can be heard in The Inland Empire and San Diego County. National religious leaders heard on K-Brite include David Jeremiah, Alistair Begg, Joyce Meyer, Charles Stanley and Rick Warren. The radio studios and business offices are on Airway Avenue in Costa Mesa.
By day, KBRT transmits 50,000 watts, the maximum for American AM stations. It is a Class D station broadcasting on the Canadian clear-channel frequency of 740 AM, so to avoid interference with Class A station CFZM Toronto and Class B station KCBS San Francisco, at night KBRT greatly reduces power to 190 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on Black Star Canyon Road in Santa Ana.[2] KBRT is licensed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to broadcast in the HD Radio hybrid format.[3][4] Programming is also heard on 13-watt FM translator K274CI at 100.7 MHz in Corona.[5]
