4. COVERAGE MAP
• 50,000 watt KRLD is heard in 106 counties!
• One of the things that sets KRLD apart is our Skywave Service. At night, waves
bounce off a charged layer in the Earth’s atmosphere and travel for hundreds of
miles covering the Southwest, from the Rockies to the Mississippi River.
* The reason daytime and nighttime groundwave coverage differentiate is because two
different antennas are used day and night. The nighttime antenna is used to suppress
the skywave towards the northeast.

Weekdays 10A - 2P
Ernie Brown opens his phones to a wide range of callers and
welcomes all points of view. Drawing on his extensive
education in history, accessing his personal contacts with
many leaders in their fields, Ernie is naturally funny and
easy-going. Making him the ideal personality to represent a

hosts is that he genuinely wants to hear the audience’s
opinions, ideas, and solutions.

the good in life so that we are not consumed by the bad. Jay
believes in cutting through the rhetoric and focusing on
what’s best for Texans and Americans.
