KDFT (540 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Ferris, Texas and broadcasting to the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It is owned and operated by Multicultural Broadcasting and airs a Spanish-language Christian talk and teaching radio format. Its slogan is "La Ponderosa" or "The Power."

By day, KDFT is powered at 1,000 watts. But 540 AM is a Mexican and Canadian clear channel frequency. So to avoid interference, KDFT reduces its nighttime power to 249 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is off Wickliffe Road in Bristol, Texas.[2]
