KRDO (1240 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Colorado Springs, Colorado. The station is owned and operated by the News-Press & Gazette Company of St. Joseph, Missouri and it airs a news/talk radio format, simulcast with 105.5 KRDO-FM. Both stations are aided by the news department of co-owned Channel 13 KRDO-TV, with some TV newscasts also heard on the radio stations.
Studios, offices and the AM transmitter are on South 8th Street in Colorado Springs. Weekdays, after a morning news block, KRDO-AM-FM carry nationally syndicated programs, three of which are about family finances: Dave Ramsey, Clark Howard and Denver-based Tom Martino. Also heard weekdays are Sean Hannity, Clyde Lewis and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. Weekends feature shows on money, health, home repair, guns, computers and travel. Syndicated weekend hosts include Kim Komando and Rudy Maxa. Some weekend hours are paid brokered programming. Most hours begin with world and national news from ABC News Radio.
In March 1947, KRDO first signed on. It was owned by the Pikes Peak Broadcasting Company and was Colorado Springs' second radio station (after KVOR). The call sign has always been KRDO, referring to KoloRaDO, with a "K" substituting for the "C." The station was originally powered at 250 watts.
