KXSP (590 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station licensed to Omaha, Nebraska. The station is owned by the E.W. Scripps Company and it airs a sports radio format. Most weekday afternoon and evening programming is from local hosts, while during mornings, late nights and weekends, KXSP carries the ESPN Radio Network.
KXSP operates at 5000 watts, using a non-directional transmitter off Sorensen Parkway in North Omaha. Due to its location near the bottom of the AM dial, as well as Nebraska's flat land (with near-perfect ground conductivity), its signal is easily heard in most of the eastern half of Nebraska, as well as parts of Iowa, Missouri, Kansas and South Dakota. It provides grade B coverage as far south as Kansas City as far east as Des Moines, and as far north as Sioux Falls. Offices and studios are located on Mockingbird Drive in South Omaha. KXSP is also heard on FM translator K276FB on 103.1 MHz in Schuyler, Nebraska. KXSP programming is also carried on the HD-2 subchannel of KEZO-FM.
