KYWN (890 AM) is a radio station licensed to Meridian, Idaho, and serving the Boise metropolitan area. It airs a Spanish-language Christian radio format and is owned by Impacto Network, Inc. It calls itself La Perla (The Pearl), using the slogan Alimente Su Alma (Feed Your Soul).
KYWN is a Class D station. By day, it broadcasts at the maximum power for AM stations, 50,000 watts. But at night, to protect WLS in Chicago, the dominant Class A station on 890 AM, it must greatly reduce power to 125 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on Kuna Mora Road at Pleasant Valley Road in Kuna, Idaho.[2]
