KRLD (1080 kHz "NewsRadio 1080") is a commercial AM radio station owned and operated by CBS Radio. Licensed to Dallas, KRLD serves the Dallas/Fort Worth Metroplex and North Texas with an All-News radio format. Unlike most CBS All-News stations which run continuous news around the clock, KRLD does not stay with the format at night. And on weekends it only carries all-news for a few hours in the morning. Weeknights, KRLD runs nationally syndicated talk shows including Dave Ramsey, Clark Howard, Texas Overnight with Charley Jones and America in The Morning. Weekends feature shows on money, home repair, real estate, travel, computers and fishing. Some weekend hours are paid brokered programming. Most hours begin with world and national news from CBS Radio News.
The station's studios are located along North Central Expressway in Uptown Dallas, and the transmitter site is near Saturn Road in Garland, Texas. KRLD (AM) broadcasts in the HD Radio format and can also be heard on KRLD-FM 105.3 HD2. KRLD is a Class A station broadcasting at 50,000 watts, the maximum power allowed for American AM stations. By day, KRLD uses a non-directional antenna and the station is audible with a good radio from Oklahoma City to Austin. At night, KRLD must use a directional antenna nulled slightly away from the northeast to avoid interfering with WTIC Hartford, the other Class A station on AM 1080. KRLD's nighttime signal is heard over much of the central United States and parts of Mexico.
