KYOZ has a daytime power of 5,000 watts. But to protect other stations on AM 1330, it drastically drops its night-time power to 23 watts. It uses a non-directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on East 42nd Avenue near Regal Avenue in Spokane.
Listeners can hear KYOZ around the clock on FM translator K239CL at 95.7 MHz, powered at 210 watts. On October 29, 2021, KYJJ (94.1), licensed to Boardman, Oregon and serving the Tri-Cities, went on the air as a brand-new license won months earlier as a part of the FCC's Auction 109, simulcasting KYOZ. This simulcast broke off when KYOZ joined the "Worship 24/7" network.
