KTRH (740 kHz) is an AM News/Talk radio station owned by iHeartMedia, Inc.. Its city of license is Houston, Texas and it serves the Houston metropolitan area and surrounding counties. KTRH uses the iHeartRadio platform to stream its webcast. The station's studios are located along the West Loop Freeway in the city's Uptown district, and the transmitter site is in unincorporated Liberty County southwest of Dayton, Texas.

KTRH broadcasts with 50,000 watts around the clock, the highest power for AM stations permitted by the Federal Communications Commission. But because KTRH is on 740 kHz, a Canadian clear channel frequency, the station uses a directional antenna to protect CFZM Toronto, the Class A station on 740. Programming is also heard on sister station KQBT's HD 3 channel at 93.7 MHz. KTRH is the South Texas Primary entry point station for the Emergency alert system.

Shows include Matt Patrick and Shara Fryer, Michael Berry, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Mark Levin, "Ground Zero" with Clyde Lewis, Coast to Coast AM with George Noory and This Morning, America's First News with Gordon Deal. Weekend programming features shows on money, health, home repair, pets, real estate and gardening.
