Lesson plan
KWMT
KWMT (540 AM) is a commercial radio station in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The station is owned by Connoisseur Media and it has a classic country radio format with news, sports and farm information features. KWMT's slogan is "True Country". Its radio studios and offices are located on North 10th Street in Fort Dodge. KWMT was previously co-owned with WMT (600 AM) in Cedar Rapids; because of this, KWMT's call sign represents "WMT" plus a 'K' at the beginning. KWMT broadcasts by day with a power of 5,000 watts. Because 540 AM is a Canadian and Mexican clear-channel frequency, power significantly drops to 170 watts at night. KWMT uses a directional antenna with a two-tower array. Much of its power is directed to the south of Fort Dodge, and the station limits its coverage to the north to protect Class A CBK, a station in Saskatchewan, Canada. KWMT's transmitter is off U.S. Route 169 at Avenue G in Fort Dodge. It is located in an area of high ground conductivity, which makes the 540 signal audible in parts of Iowa, Illinois, Missouri and Nebraska.
