Public license information

KSAC (890 AM) is a Class B radio station in Olivehurst, California, operating with 10,000 watts of power during the day and 270 watts at night. The station is owned by Lotus Communications through licensee Lotus Sacramento Corp. and targets the Sacramento area.[2] KSAC's programming previously was entirely devoted to The Rob, Anybody, and Dawn Show. It also broadcasts via translator K284CM on 104.7 MHz, licensed to Sacramento.

As 890 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, KSAC must reduce nighttime power to 270 watts to prevent interference to the skywave signal of WLS in Chicago, Illinois, a Class A station.
