KVTT (1110 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Mineral Wells, Texas and serving the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. It is owned by Saumil and Poorvesh Thakkar, through licensee Decatur Media Land, LLC. It broadcasts a South Asian full service radio format, featuring Bollywood music, talk and news. Studios are located in Richardson along east Belt Line Road.
By day, KVTT is powered at 50,000 watts, the maximum for AM radio stations licensed by the Federal Communications Commission. Because 1110 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations KFAB Omaha and WBT Charlotte, KVTT is a daytimer, required to sign off at night. It runs 39,000 watts during critical hours. The transmitter is southwest of Alvord in Wise County.[2] KVTT is heard around the clock on FM translator K238CC at 95.5 MHz in Dallas and on KZMP-FM 104.9 HD2 (via HD Radio) throughout most of the metroplex.
