KKGX (920 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Palm Springs, California, and serving the Coachella Valley. The station is owned by Louie Comella through licensee IVOX MEDIA, LLC, and it broadcsts a talk radio format. Both KKGX and sister station KWXY have their studios in the original KWXY Broadcast Center building in Cathedral City.
By day, KKGX is powered at 5,000 watts. But to protect other stations on 920 AM from interference, it reduces power to 1,000 watts at night. It uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array.[2] Programming is also heard on 54-watt FM translator K256CU at 99.1 MHz in Palm Springs.[3]
