KNUS (710 AM) is a commercial radio station in Denver, Colorado. It airs a talk radio format and is owned and operated by the Salem Media Group under licensee Salem Media of Colorado, Inc.[2] The studios are on South Vaughn Way in Aurora.

KNUS is a Class B station. It is powered at 5,000 watts. Because 710 AM is a clear channel frequency, to protect other stations from interference, it uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is off Brighton Road near the South Platte River in Brighton.[3]
