KVOZ (890 kHz "Radio Cristiana") is a Spanish-language AM radio station licensed to Del Mar Hills, Texas, and serving Laredo, Texas, and Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas, on the United States-Mexico border. It airs a Spanish-language Christian radio format, featuring Christian talk and teaching programs with Christian music. It is owned by Consolidated Radio, Inc.
By day, KVOZ is powered at 10,000 watts non-directional. But because 890 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WLS Chicago, KVOZ must reduce power at night to 1,000 watts to avoid interference. After sunset, it also uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is off U.S. Route 59 in Laredo.[2]
