KRXA
By day, KRXA is powered at 10,000 watts. But because 540 AM is a Mexican and Canadian clear channel frequency, KRXA must greatly reduce power at sunset to 500 watts to avoid interference. The transmitter is on Old Stage Road in Salinas. It uses a three-tower array directional antenna.
History
On July 19, 1987, the station signed on the air. Its original call sign before it went on the air, as a construction permit, was KJCC.
In 1995, after being purchased by Cypress Communications, KIEZ switched from a Spanish language KKLF simulcast to its own adult standards format. From 2005 to 2012, the station had a progressive talk format.
When KRXA was sold to El Sembrador, the progressive talk moved to RadioMonterey.com. With the sale, KRXA switched to a Spanish language Catholic radio format.
