Lesson plan
KPPF
KPPF (1040 AM) is a commercial radio station licensed to Monument, Colorado, and serving the Colorado Springs metropolitan area. Owned by Power 95.7, LLC, it broadcasts a news/talk radio format, calling itself "Power Talk 1040." The studios and offices are at 3455 Briargate Blvd in Colorado Springs. Most of the schedule is nationally syndicated conservative talk shows including Dana Loesch, Michael Medved, Eric Metaxas and Michael Berry. By day, KPPF is powered at 15,000 watts using a non-directional antenna. But because 1040 AM is a United States clear-channel frequency, KPPF is a daytimer. It must leave the air from sunset to sunrise to protect the nighttime skywave signal of Class A WHO in Des Moines, the dominant station on the frequency. Programming is also heard around the clock on two FM translators in Colorado Springs: 95.7 K239CH and 98.5 K253AH.
