KYIZ (1620 AM) is a radio station broadcasting an urban adult contemporary and talk radio format. Licensed to Renton, Washington, United States, the station serves the Seattle metropolitan area. It is owned by Gloria and Christopher Bennett, through licensee Bennett Media Group, LLC, with studios and offices, shared with KRIZ, located on South Jackson Street in the city's Central District east of downtown. KYIZ's transmitter site is located in Renton off Wells Avenue South.[2] It broadcasts with 10,000 watts by day, but to avoid interfering with other stations on AM 1620, it reduces power at night to 1,000 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times.
KYIZ is one of The Z Twins, two radio stations serving the Puget Sound region, most notably the African-American communities of King and Pierce County, Washington.
