WXKG (1010 AM) is a commercial radio station in Atlanta, Georgia, known as "105.5 The King". It is owned by Danny Wilson, through licensee Light Media Holdings, Inc., and airs an urban and inspirational format.
In the daytime, WXKG has the maximum power for AM stations in the U.S., 50,000 watts. But because AM 1010 is a Canadian clear channel frequency, WXKG must reduce power at night when radio waves travel farther. During critical hours, the power is 45,000 watts and at night, it broadcasts at 78 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times, located off Battle Forrest Drive in Decatur, near Interstate 285.[2] WXKG is classified as a class D AM broadcast station according to the Federal Communications Commission.
