KRLD shares AM 1080 with Class A WTIC Hartford, so at night, KRLD switches to a directional antenna, using a two-tower array. The transmitter is in Garland, off Saturn Road. KRLD's AM station also broadcasts in HD Radio. KRLD is simulcast over co-owned 105.3 KRLD-FM's secondary HD Radio subchannel. KRLD is also available online via Audacy.
