KSKY broadcasts by day at 7,200 watts. Because AM 660 is a clear channel frequency reserved for WFAN in New York City, KSKY must reduce power at night to 600 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on Huffines Boulevard at Stonewall Drive in Lewisville, Texas.[2] Programming is also heard on three FM broadcast relay stations or translators: 92.9 KGPJ-LP in Dallas, 95.5 KRQP-LP in Arlington and 99.9 K260BP in Fort Worth. KSKY is also heard on KLTY's secondary HD Radio signal at 94.9 HD2.
