By day, KTLK is powered at the maximum for AM stations, 50,000 watts, and uses a directional antenna at all times. At night, to avoid interference with other stations on 1130 AM, it reduces power to 25,000 watts and uses a nine-tower array. The transmitter is on Flag Trail at Prairie Hills Lane in Prior Lake.[2] Programming is also heard on FM translator K278BP at 103.5 MHz in Cottage Grove.[3] It is also simulcast over an HD digital subchannel of KFXN-FM 100.3 MHz.
