KFYO (790 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Lubbock, Texas. It airs a news/talk radio format and is owned by Townsquare Media. Its studios are on 82nd Street in southwest Lubbock.

KFYO transmits 5,000 watts daytime; to protect other stations on 790 kHz from interference, at night it reduces power to 1,000 watts. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is off Slide Road at 146th Street in Lubbock.[2] Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator K236CP on 95.1 MHz in Lubbock.[3]
