KKLF (1700 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Richardson, Texas. Although the station's signal covers portions of the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex, it mainly serves areas of North Texas that are north and east of the Metroplex. This station broadcasts on the AM expanded band. It is owned by Claro Communications, Ltd., with Gerald Benavides as the licensee. It broadcasts a Tejano radio format, using the monikers "Jalapeño Radio". The DJs speak both Spanish and English.
KKLF transmits with a daytime power of 5,000 watts, & a nighttime power of 1,000 watts to avoid interfering with other stations on 1700 AM. The transmitter is off West Forest Grove Road in Lucas, Texas.[1] KKLF is licensed by iBiquity for digital HD Radio transmission but is not currently transmitting a digital signal. Because the license to broadcast HD Radio is perpetual, the station could resume digital broadcasts at any time. Programming can also be heard on 60-watt FM translator K239DA at 95.7 MHz in Richardson.[4]
