KSCO (1080 AM) is a commercial radio station broadcasting a talk radio format. The station is owned by Zwerling Broadcasting and is licensed to Santa Cruz, California. The radio studios and offices are on Portola Drive in Santa Cruz. The station can be heard over much of Central California during the day.
By day, KSCO broadcasts at 10,000 watts. Because 1080 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for KRLD Dallas and WTIC Hartford, at sunset, to avoid interference, KSCO gradually reduces power to 22 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times[2] KSCO also has three translator stations to broadcast its programming on the FM dial.
