KVOR (740 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Colorado Springs, Colorado, serving Colorado Springs and Pueblo. It is owned by Cumulus Media and airs a news/talk radio format.
KVOR is powered at 3,300 watts by day, but because AM 740 is a clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A CFZM Toronto, KVOR must reduce power at night to 1,500 watts. It uses a directional antenna at all times, with a north-south pattern that covers Pueblo, even though the station's transmitter is located north of downtown Colorado Springs, near Thompson Road. Studios and offices are located on Corporate Drive in Colorado Springs.
The KVOR weekday schedule begins with Colorado Springs' Morning News followed by a local late morning talk show hosted by Richard Randall. (A repeat hour of Randall's show also airs at 10pm.) The rest of the weekday line up is made up of nationally syndicated talk shows: The Rush Limbaugh Show, The Savage Nation, Glenn Beck Program, The Mark Levin Show, Red Eye Radio, First Light and America in the Morning. Weekends feature shows on money, food, computers, law and religion with hosts Larry Kudlow, Leo Laporte, Bill Handel and Jim Daly. KVOR partners with local TV stations KXRM (Fox affiliate) and KKTV (CBS affiliate) for news and weather coverage. Most hours begin with world and national news from CBS Radio News.
