KMIA (1210 kHz) is an AM radio station broadcasting a Spanish-language Christian Radio format, known as "Radio Amor." Licensed to Auburn–Federal Way, Washington, it serves the Seattle metropolitan area. The station is currently owned by Amador and Rosalie Bustos, through licensee Bustos Media Holdings, LLC. It uses a brokered programming system, where religious leaders buy time on the station and seek donations to their ministries during their shows.
By day, KMIA is powered at 27,500 watts. But because 1210 AM is a clear channel frequency, KMIA must reduce power at night to only 220 watts to minimize interference to other stations.[2] KMIA uses a directional antenna at all times. Programming is also heard on 150 watt FM translator K221FJ at 92.1 MHz in Tacoma, Washington, 250 watt FM translator K253CG at 98.5 MHz in Seattle, Washington, and 250 watt FM translator K271BS at 102.1 MHz in Auburn, Washington.
