KCBQ (1170 kHz "1170 The Answer") is a commercial AM radio station in San Diego, California. It is owned by Salem Communications and airs a talk radio format. Studios and offices are on Towne Center Drive in San Diego. The transmitter is off Moreno Avenue in Lakeside, California. By day, KCBQ operates at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for American AM stations. But because AM 1170 is a clear-channel frequency, KCBQ must reduce its power at night to 2900 watts to avoid interfering with Class A stations KFAQ in Tulsa, Oklahoma and WWVA in Wheeling, West Virginia. It uses a directional antenna at all times.
The station offers local San Diego radio personality Mark Larson in the morning and Salem's line up of conservative nationally syndicated hosts Mike Gallagher, Dennis Prager, Hugh Hewitt, Larry Elder and Michael Medved the rest of the day. Some hours on weekdays and weekends are paid brokered programming. Weekends feature shows on money, health, food, law and cars. Some hours are paid brokered programming.
