KRLA (870 AM) "AM 870 The Answer" is a commercial radio station broadcasting a conservative talk radio format. Licensed to Glendale, California, it serves Greater Los Angeles and Southern California. The station is owned by Salem Media Group, which also owns 99.5 KKLA-FM which features a Christian talk and teaching format, and 95.9 KFSH-FM with a contemporary Christian music format.
By day, KRLA transmits with 50,000 watts, the maximum for commercial AM stations. Since AM 870 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WWL New Orleans, KRLA must reduce power at sunset to 3,000 watts to reduce interference. It uses a directional antenna with a three-tower array. The transmitter is off El Reposo Drive in Los Angeles, near the Glendale Freeway.[1]
On weekdays, KRLA airs a local wake up show, "The Morning Answer" with hosts Jennifer Horn and Grant Stinchfield. The rest of the day, it carries nationally syndicated shows from the co-owned Salem Radio Network: Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Hugh Hewitt, Charlie Kirk and Sebastian Gorka. KRLA also carries Mark Levin, syndicated by Westwood One. World and national news updates are provided by Townhall News.
