By day, KXCB is powered at 1,000 watts. But at night, to protect other stations on 1420 AM from interference, it reduces power to 330 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times with a two-tower array. The transmitter is in Council Bluffs, off South 36th Street, near the Missouri River. Programming is also heard on 250-watt FM translator K293CX at 106.5 MHz in Council Bluffs.
