KXEN (1010 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The station is owned by BDJ Radio Enterprises, LLC. It carries a religious radio format, with most of the hours sold to national and local Christian radio hosts.
KXEN's studios and offices are on Hampton Avenue in St. Louis. Its transmitter is located near the Interstate 255/Illinois Route 255/Interstate 270 intersection in Pontoon Beach, Illinois.
KXEN broadcasts in the daytime at 50,000 watts, the maximum power permitted for commercial AM stations by the Federal Communications Commission. But because AM 1010 is a Canadian clear-channel frequency reserved for Class A stations CFRB Toronto and CBR Calgary, Alberta, KXEN must drastically reduce power at night to 500 watts to avoid interference. KXEN uses a directional antenna at all times. Programming is simulcast on FM translator K283CI 104.5 MHz.
