KFAB
KFAB (1110 kHz) is a commercial AM radio station in Omaha, Nebraska, with studios and offices on Underwood Avenue in Omaha. It broadcasts a news/talk radio format and is owned by iHeartMedia.
KFAB is a Class A clear channel station, operating at 50,000 watts, the maximum power for commercial AM stations, from a transmitter on South 60th Street at Capehart Road in Papillion. A single tower beams the full power during the day. At night, power is fed to a three-tower array in a directional pattern to avoid interfering with WBT Charlotte, the other Class A station on 1110 AM. Due to its high power and Nebraska's excellent ground conductivity, KFAB's daytime signal is heard in most of Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa, with at least grade B coverage as far as Kansas City, Topeka, Sioux City and Des Moines. At night, even though it must direct its signal north–south to protect WBT, it can be heard across most of the western half of North America with a good radio.
KFAB is licensed by the U.S. Federal Communications Commission to broadcast in the HD Radio (hybrid) format.
Gary Sadlemyer, with KFAB for more than four decades, hosts "The KFAB Morning News" on weekdays. Local talk shows are heard in late mornings with Scott Voorhees and in late afternoons with Emery Songer. The rest of the weekday schedule is nationally syndicated conservative talk shows from co-owned Premiere Networks: The Clay Travis and Buck Sexton Show, The Glenn Beck Radio Program, The Jesse Kelly Show and Coast to Coast AM with George Noory. One popular Premiere Networks program that isn't heard on KFAB is The Sean Hannity Show. Rival talk station KOIL 1290 AM carries Hannity.
Weekends feature shows on health, money, technology, gardening and cooking. Weekend syndicated programs include The Dana Loesch Show, Armstrong & Getty, The Weekend with Michael Brown, Sunday Night with Bill Cunningham, Somewhere in Time with Art Bell and Our American Stories with Lee Habeeb. Most hours begin with an update from Fox News Radio.
Just before signing on, the station received its license on November 8, 1924. It was owned by the Nebraska Buick Auto Company in Lincoln. Initially, it was given the call sign KFRR from an alphabetic list maintained by the United States Department of Commerce. However, Nebraska Buick's owner Harold E. Sidles made a request to Washington prior to the station's December 4 debut. He asked for the call letters KFAB, reportedly standing for "Keep Following A Buick".
On November 11, 1928, under the provisions of the Federal Radio Commission's General Order 40, KFAB was reassigned to a "clear channel" frequency of 770 kilocycles. In a shared-time arrangement, it could broadcast unlimited hours during the day but had to divide nighttime operations with Chicago's co-channel WBBM.
KFAB was originally aired NBC Red Network programs. But it became a CBS Radio Network affiliate the week of January 5, 1932. Beginning in 1934, KFAB and WBBM synchronized their transmissions via a telephone line that ran from the WBBM transmitter outside Chicago to the KFAB site near Lincoln, thus allowing simultaneous nighttime operation and providing a nearly coast-to-coast CBS signal on their shared frequency. In March 1941, as part of the implementation of the North American Regional Broadcasting Agreement (NARBA), KFAB and WBBM were shifted to 780 kilocycles.
