KPRZ (1210 kHz "K-Praise 106.1 and 1210") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to San Marcos-Poway, California and serving the San Diego metropolitan area. It is owned by the Salem Media Group and broadcasts a Christian talk and teaching radio format. National religious leaders heard on KPRZ include David Jeremiah, Jim Daly, Chuck Swindoll and Charles Stanley. Secular conservative talk hosts include Eric Metaxas, Charlie Kirk and Jay Sekulow. The studios and offices are on Towne Centre Drive in San Diego.

By day, KPRZ is powered at 20,000 watts. But 1210 AM is a clear channel frequency, so to reduce interference at night to other stations, KPRZ cuts its power to 10,000 watts. KPRZ has a directional signal using a three-tower array. The transmitter site is on Canyon de Oro Drive near the San Elijo Hills.^[2] Programming is also heard on a 250 watt FM translator, K291CR at 106.1 MHz, in Encinitas.^[3]
