KYNO operates with 50,000 watts around the clock, the highest power permitted for American AM radio stations. 940 KYNO is the most powerful Oldies radio station in America with daytime coverage from Sacramento to Bakersfield and throughout the Central Coast of California. But because AM 940 is a clear channel frequency, KYNO uses a directional antenna to avoid interfering with Class A stations XEQ in Mexico City and CFNV in Montreal. Even with these restrictions, it can be heard across much of the Western United States at night with a good radio.
