KDIZ (1570 kHz "Freedom 1570") is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Golden Valley, Minnesota, and serving the Twin Cities radio market. It is owned by the Salem Media Group and it airs a conservative talk radio format. KDIZ's radio studios are on Cliff Road near Minnesota State Highway 77 and Interstate 35E in Eagan.

By day, KDIZ transmits 4,000 watts, but because 1570 AM is a Mexican clear channel frequency, KDIZ reduces power at night to 220 watts to avoid interference. The signal is non-directional at all times. The transmitter is on Lilac Drive North in Golden Valley, near Minnesota State Highway 100.
