KIXZ (940 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Amarillo, Texas, airing a news/talk format. It is owned by Townsquare Media, with the license held by Townsquare License, LLC. The studios are on SW 34th Avenue in Amarillo.
By day, KIXZ is powered at 5,000 watts. But 940 AM is a clear channel frequency reserved for Class A stations XEQ Mexico City and CFNV Montreal. So to avoid interference, it reduces power at night to 1,000 watts. It also uses a directional antenna with a four-tower array. The transmitter is on South Whitaker Road near SE 85th Avenue in Amarillo.
