The studios and offices are located in Northeast San Antonio. The AM station's transmitter site is south of Zuehl, Texas, off Stolte Road.[1] KSAH is powered at 50,000 watts by day, the maximum power for commercial AM stations in the U.S. But because AM 720 is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A WGN Chicago, KSAH must reduce power at night to 890 watts to avoid interference. The station uses a directional antenna around the clock.

History

KSAH 720 first signed on the air on November 1, 1986. It was owned by Gandadores, Inc. and broadcast at 10,000 watts by day, 1,000 watts by night.[2] It aired a Regional Mexican music format.

In 2010, the AM station's Regional Mexican format started to be simulcast on 104.1 KSAH-FM. In June 2012, the music format moved exclusively to 104.1 FM and the AM station switched to Spanish-language sports talk, as an ESPN Deportes Radio Network affiliate. In 2018, the sports format was discontinued and the two stations returned to simulcasting their programming. The FM station's transmitter is located about 30 miles south of San Antonio in Atascosa County, Texas, in the community of Hindes.[3] So simulcasting helps listeners in other parts of the San Antonio market hear KSAH-FM's programming by tuning in AM 720

gollark: I don't know. Sure, if you want?
gollark: Learning about electronics might be interesting.
gollark: Hmm. Well. It seems like you've gone through basically everything I might suggest and also a large amount of things I haven't, so no idea then.
gollark: More "potentially interesting things to do" than "challenge" but:- play some fun computer games- learn programming- read books (there are lots of authors providing books for free because of the whole situation, I find lots through reddit, and amazon's kindle unlimited is fairly cheap and has lots)- do... exercise of some sort... if you like that, I guess- learn about some other subject which interests you, there are loads of resources for stuff on the internet these days- drawing/other art stuff might be interesting for you if you're good at that- write things? There's r/writingprompts on reddit for that sort of thing- learning lockpicking is apparently quite cheap, might be fun, and is somewhat useful (and legal as long as you only do it on stuff you own, probably)
