KKXT has an effective radiated power (ERP) of 19,290 watts. Its signal is limited in that most Dallas area FM stations run at 100,000 watts. KKXT broadcasts from a tall tower at 571.7 meters (1,876 feet) in height above average terrain (HAAT), the same used by its sister station KERA, which helps improve coverage in the surrounding suburbs of Dallas and Fort Worth. The transmitter is off Tindle Street in Cedar Hill.
