KRMG (740 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Tulsa, Oklahoma. The station is owned by Cox Media Group and airs a news/talk radio format, simulcast with co-owned 102.3 KRMG-FM. The studios and offices are located on South Memorial Drive near Interstate 44 in Tulsa.[2]
KRMG's transmitter is located at a six-tower array on Tower Road in Sand Springs, Oklahoma.[3] KRMG broadcasts at 50,000 watts by day, the maximum power permitted for American AM stations. But it drops its power to 25,000 watts at night and uses a directional antenna at all times to protect other stations on AM 740. Three towers are used during the day, providing at least secondary coverage to almost all of Oklahoma, as well as portions of Arkansas, Missouri, Kansas and Texas. At night, power is fed to all six towers to protect Class A CFZM Toronto, concentrating the signal in the Tulsa and Oklahoma City areas. KRMG-AM-FM are also heard on Channel 1980 through Cox's digital cable service. The AM station is the Oklahoma primary entry point for the Emergency Alert System.
