By day, KFNN is powered at 22,000 watts. But because 1510 AM is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A WLAC Nashville, Tennessee, KFNN must reduce nighttime power to only 100 watts to prevent interference. It uses a directional antenna at all times. The transmitter is on Black Mountain Boulevard at Rough Rider Road in Phoenix. KFNN can also be heard on FM translator K287BX at 105.3 MHz in Mesa.
