By day, KATZ is powered at 6,000 watts. But at night, to protect other stations on 1600 AM from interference, power is reduced to 3,500 watts. It also uses a directional antenna with an eight-tower array. Its transmitter is on Rock Springs Road at McKinley Avenue in Washington Park, Illinois.[1] Programming is also heard on 25-watt FM translator K227DS at 93.3 MHz. KATZ is licensed by the FCC to broadcast a HD digital (hybrid) signal.[2]
