KVON (1440 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station broadcasting a Spanish AC radio format. Licensed to Napa, California, it serves the Napa County/Sonoma County region of Northern California. The station is owned by Wilfred Alexander Marcencia and Julissa Marcencia, through licensee Wine Down Media LLC.
By day, KVON's transmitter broadcasts a 5,000-watt signal. At night, to avoid interfering with other stations on 1440 AM, the station reduces transmitter power to 1,000 watts. The station uses a directional antenna pattern at all times utilizing a 4-tower array during daytime and 3-tower array during nighttime operations.[2] The station's transmitter and antenna array are located at a site south of the Napa, California, adjacent to the Napa River. The station also simulcasts on the FM band on 96.9 MHz with 12 watts from an antenna that is co-located on a site it shares with KVYN near Yountville, California.
