KGLA (830 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Norco, Louisiana, and serving the New Orleans metropolitan area. The station is owned by Crocodile Broadcasting and airs a Spanish-language tropical radio format, known as "Tropical 105.7." The studios and offices are on the Interstate 10 Service Road in Metairie, Louisiana. The transmitter is on Lower Guide Levee Road in Laplace, off Interstate 10.[2]
KGLA has a power of 5,000 watts in the daytime. Because 830 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WCCO in Minneapolis, KGLA must reduce power at night to 750 watts to avoid interference. Programming is carried on two FM translators, 94.7 W234DH in Baton Rouge and 105.7 K289AM in Timberlane.[3]
