KHVN (970 AM) is a radio station licensed to Fort Worth, Texas, and serving the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, owned and operated by iHeartMedia, Inc. It airs an African American targeted all-news radio format, simulcast with co-owned KKGM 1630 AM, affiliates of the national Black Information Network.

By day, KHVN is powered at 1,000 watts. But to avoid interference with other stations on 970 AM, it reduces power to 270 watts at night. The transmitter is on Kimbo Road near Mesquite Road in Fort Worth.[2] Programming is also heard on 150 watt FM translator K237HD in Fort Worth.
