kern

KERN (1180 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Wasco-Greenacres, California, and serving the Bakersfield metropolitan area. The station is owned by American General Media. KERN's studios and offices are in the American General Media complex on Easton Drive in Bakersfield, and its transmitter is located off Jackson Avenue in Wasco.KERN airs a talk radio format with mostly local hosts on weekdays, along with syndicated shows from Chris Plante, Michael Savage, Dave Ramsey and Red Eye Radio. Weekends feature shows on health, money, real estate, home repair, law and computers. Weekend syndicated shows include Kim Komando, Larry Kudlow, Bill Cunningham, Bob Brinker and Bruce DuMont. Some weekend hours are paid brokered programming. Most hours begin with world and national news from ABC News Radio.
KERN operates with 50,000 watts by day, the maximum power permitted for commercial AM stations. But because AM 1180 is a clear-channel frequency, reserved for Class A WHAM in Rochester, New York, KERN must reduce power at night to 10,000 watts, and uses a directional antenna at all times to limit interference.
