KGOL (1180 AM) is a commercial radio station, licensed to Humble, Texas, and serving Greater Houston.
KGOL is one of two 50,000 watt AM facilities serving the Houston area, the other being talk radio station 740 KTRH, owned by iHeartMedia, which runs 50,000 watts full-time. Because AM 1180 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WHAM in Rochester, New York, KGOL must reduce power at night to 3,000 watts to avoid interference. KGOL uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on Route 1314 in Porter, Texas, near Texas State Highway 99 (Grand Parkway).[2]
