On April 30, 2015 KKCL was granted a Federal Communications Commission construction permit to increase day power to 5,000 watts. Because 1550 kHz is a clear channel frequency reserved for Canada and Mexico, KKCL's night power is limited.
To improve its coverage, programming also airs on FM translators K245AD and K245CM, both at 96.9 MHz.
