By day, KGA is powered at 50,000 watts non-directional, the maximum for commercial AM stations. But to reduce interference to other stations on 1510 AM, during critical hours the power is lowered to 45,000 watts. And at night, power is greatly reduced to 540 watts. The transmitter site is on East Stutler Road near U.S. Route 195 in Spangle, Washington. Programming is also heard on 99-watt FM translator K278CY at 103.5 MHz in Spokane.
