By day, KTLK is powered at the maximum for AM stations, 50,000 watts, and uses a directional antenna at all times. At night, to avoid interference with other stations on 1130 AM, it reduces power to 25,000 watts and uses a nine-tower array. The transmitter is on Flag Trail at Prairie Hills Lane in Prior Lake. Programming is also heard on FM translator K278BP at 103.5 MHz in Cottage Grove. It is also simulcast over an HD digital subchannel of KFXN-FM 100.3 MHz.
