Radio towers for KDIZ 1570 shared with KYCR 1440.

KDIZ (1570 kHz "Freedom 1570") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Golden Valley, Minnesota, and serving the Twin Cities radio market. The station is owned by the Salem Media Group and broadcasts a conservative talk radio format. KDIZ's radio studios are on Cliff Road near Minnesota State Highway 77 in Eagan.

By day, KDIZ is powered at 4,000 watts. But because 1570 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, KDIZ reduces power at night to 220 watts to avoid interference.[2] The signal is non-directional at all times. The transmitter is on Lilac Drive North in Golden Valley, near Minnesota State Highway 100.
