KVOR AM 740

A commercial news and talk radio station broadcasting at 740 AM, serving the Colorado Springs and Pueblo markets. Owned by Cumulus Media, the station operates at 3,300 watts during daytime hours and reduces to 1,500 watts at night due to its proximity to the clear-channel frequency reserved for CFZM in Toronto. It uses a directional antenna oriented north to south, and its transmitter is located north of downtown Colorado Springs near Thompson Road, with studios and offices on Corporate Drive. Weekday programming begins with a locally produced morning news program, followed by a local late-morning talk show hosted by Richard Randall. Nationally syndicated programming fills the remainder of the weekday schedule, including The Vince Show, The Will Cain Show, The Mark Levin Show, Ground Zero with Clyde Lewis, The Chris Plante Show, Red Eye Radio, and America in the Morning. Weekend programming covers finance, food, technology, law, and religion, featuring shows such as Bill Handel on the Law, The Larry Kudlow Show, and Focus on the Family. World and national news from ABC News Radio is carried at the top of most hours. The station carries Air Force Falcons football and basketball games and collaborates with Colorado Springs television station KOAA for news and weather coverage. KVOR traces its history to 1922, when it signed on as KFUM before adopting its current call sign in 1931, making it one of the oldest broadcasting operations in Colorado Springs.
