KGTK (920 AM "Megatalk 920 and 1400") is a commercial radio station featuring a talk radio format, simulcast with KITZ (1400 AM) in Silverdale.[3] Licensed to Olympia, Washington, KGTK serves the Puget Sound Region. Its parent company, KITZ Radio, Inc., is owned by two gun-rights groups: the Second Amendment Foundation and its affiliate, the Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms. Its main studio and production facilities are on Mile High Drive in Port Orchard.

By day, KGTK is powered at 3,000 watts, using a non-directional antenna. At night, to prevent interference to other stations on 920 AM, KGTK's power is reduced to 7 watts. The transmitter is on Sleater Kinney Road NE in Olympia.[4] Programming is also heard on 100-watt FM translator K225DC at 92.9 MHz in South Bay, Washington; its transmitter is on Capitol Peak in Malone-Porter, Washington.[5]
